Gothams Deal Dynamos 10-2 Setback
The New York Gothams scooped up a win at Thompson Field, dumping the Detroit Dynamos, 10-2. George Garrison, who led the FA in wins with 23 last year, was essential to his team's success. The Gothams now own a record of 72-62.

The Gothams got a big hit from catcher Lew Mercer. Facing Detroit pitcher Stan Paul in the top of the fifth, Mercer pounded a bases-clearing double to center. His 4th double of the season put the Gothams ahead, 7-0.

"It was full throttle on our side," said Mercer.
