Gothams Get Extra-Inning, 8-7 Win
Chicago third baseman Homer Mills was sensational. He went 2-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. New York beat the Chiefs, 8-7, in 10 innings. With the win, New York improves its record to 10-7.

The Gothams got a clutch hit from catcher Lew Mercer. In the bottom of the tenth, he hit a run-scoring single to right, to win the game for the Gothams.

"Winning in the last at-bat, there's nothing else like it," said Mercer.
