On Saturday, June 27, 1908, the Brooklyn Royal Giants with great ease defeat the Frankford nine at Wister Park, Philadelphia.
Brooklyn takes a prompt 4-0 lead in the first inning. However, Frankford cuts their deficit by two in the top half of the second on runs scored by Childs, the right fielder, and Armstrong, the starting pitcher. Afterwhich, the rout begins. Brooklyn continues to post twelve more runs on 18 total hits, all against Armstrong, who walks one and strikes out one in a nine-inning albeit losing effort. All nine Royal Giants batters hit safely. The infield duo of Grant Johnson and Gus James rules the day. Gus James wields a double and two home runs while Grant Johnson singles and hits two home runs. Johnson also leads the team with five runs scored, James four runs scored. The pair also join for ten assists in the field with no misplays. Five other Giants register at least two hits. Facing Brooklyn starter Charles Earle, only Frankford's catcher, Hare, achieves a respectable level of success with four hits, including a triple. Otherwise, Charles Earles shuts out Frankford after the second, limiting them to nine total hits and three walks through nine innings for the win.
