| Gothams Victorious at Los Angeles, 2-0 | In a tight contest between the New York Gothams and the Los Angeles Suns, Joe Nelson was the determining factor. The New York right-hander sparkled in his team's 2-0 win. Herb Isom collected save number 4. The 4th-place Gothams go to 44-41.
With New York leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Nelson hit a run-scoring single off Los Angeles hurler Heinie Schmidt. It was the 5th hit of the season for Nelson and put his team ahead, 2-0.
"We'll pocket this win," said Nelson, "and then go after another." | |
