On Saturday, June 13, 1914, the Brooklyn Royal Giants venture into New Jersey where they are met with little resistance by the Camden A.C.
Starting for Brooklyn, Richard "Lefty" Harvey allows just five hits, all singles, en route to a complete-game shutout effort for the win. Harvey strikes out seventeen Camden batters. In fact, no Brooklyn outfielder makes a putout and only third baseman Jesse Bragg registers an infield assist. First baseman Phil Bradley completes six putouts at first base, and catcher Pearl Webster is credited with 18 putouts. Brooklyn commits no errors albeit in a limited number of chances.
Center fielder Jules Thomas, left fielder Jimmie Lyons, and Jesse Bragg all post multiple hits. Brooklyn scores six runs on eight hits but exploits Camden with nine stolen bases.
