Keystones Lose 8-6 Decision to New York
New York center fielder Otto Pilkerton helped his team beat the Philadelphia Keystones, 8-6. Pilkerton went 2 for 3 for the Gothams. The winner was Jack White in relief. His record improves to 9-7. Buddy Adams took the loss. At 59-75, the Gothams find themselves in 7th place in the Federal Association.

Had Frank Arnold not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Arnold hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Gothams.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Pilkerton told the New York Times.
