Chief Lewis knocked in 4 runs to help New York beat Boston, 13-7. The center fielder collected 2 singles, 1 double, and 1 home run. Ed Bowman picked up the win, lifting his record to 12-3 on the season. He struck out 3 and walked 3 in 8 innings, while yielding 4 runs. New York is now 37-34, while Boston is 31-41.

New York used the hitting of Walt Messer to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Gothams on top, 3-0. For the game, Messer had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Lewis told the New York Times.
