From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS
On Wednesday, June 11, 1941, the Bushwicks defeated the Baltimore Elite Giants in a non-Negro National League contest at Dexter Park. Although he did not play in this game, the Elites feature a 19-year old catcher named Roy Campanella.
Starting for Baltimore, southpaw Jesse Brown is knocked out of the box in the third. He yields seven hits, walks one, and hits a batter in 2.1 innings pitched. Right-hander Bill Barnes fares no better, allowing four hits in 3.2 innings pitched. Together, they surrender five runs on eleven hits, with two strikeouts between them. Roy K. Williams pitches the final two innings surrendering one hit, one walk, with two strikeouts. Shortstop Tommy Butts goes 2 for 4 with a double and run scored. Center fielder Charlie Biot is 1 for 3 with a triple and run batted in. Second baseman and manager Felton Snow drives home the other Baltimore run. Bushwick starter Bob Miller limits the Elite Giants to a pair of runs on just six hits, two going for extra bases. He walks none and strikes out eight in a winning effort. Bushwick third baseman Al "Chick" Cuccinello and left fielder Jimmy Ashworth each drive in two runs apiece. Right fielder Sol Mishkin and first baseman Gene Rogers strike for multiple hits.
