From the desk: DEM BARNSTORMERS
On Saturday, May 14, 1921, the Brooklyn Royal Giants are defeated by the Farmers nine of Glendale, Long Island. Twirling for the hosts, newly signed Harry Hagermann yields to Brooklyn three runs on ten hits and no walks with five strikeouts for the victory.
The Farmers take an early 1-0 lead when first baseman Dahncke homers to deep left; it's the first home run hit at Glendale's new field. But Brooklyn answers with a run in the third. Second baseman John Cason singles, advances to second, then scored on third baseman Louis Miller's base hit. However, with three runs in the fourth, Glendale takes a 4-3 lead they would not concede.

Brooklyn Royal Giants starter Henry Howell issues four walks, and fans three before 1B/manager Eddie Douglas brings in reliever Jesse Hubbard. The two hurlers join together in surrendering six runs on twelve hits.
Center fielder Tom Fiall in the sixth singles and scores on Eddie Douglass' hit. Farmers' shortstop Blank errs in the seventh, leading to Brooklyn's third run. But any Royal Giants designs for a comeback are short-circuited; in the bottom of the seventh, Glendale scores twice more en route to a 6-3 final score at Farmer Oval. Brooklyn third baseman Louis Miller accounts for three of Brooklyn's ten hits.
