Empires Victorious at Boston, 8-1
The New York Empires went home winners at Atlantic Avenue Grounds, thanks in large part to starter Jack Neenan. Neenan stifled the Boston Terriers, enabling New York to grab the 8-1 win. The winner was Neenan. He threw 5.0 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Ken Torkelson. The Empires raised their record to 6-3.

The Terriers had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Empires going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 35-year old catcher Eddie Ellison came to the plate. Ellison hit a solo home run on a 0-1 fastball from Boston hurler Ken Torkelson. It was Ellison's 1st home run of the year.

"Jack was able to locate to both sides, up and down," said New York manager Dan Whiting.
