Messer Heroics Not Enough in 10-7 Loss to Philadelphia
The New York Gothams got a superb performance from left fielder Walt Messer, but the Philadelphia Keystones still won the game, 10-7. Messer went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Philadelphia currently is in 7th place in the Federal Association at 48-63.

Philadelphia went up, 6-4, on Al Coulter's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Coulter hit in the bottom of the seventh, left New York pitcher Ed Bowman muttering to himself.

"We got the victory," said Coulter. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
