On Sunday, June 3, 1917, the host Brooklyn Royal Giants and Bushwick split games of a doubleheader at Ridgewood Park, Irving Avenue at Halsey Street.
GAME ONE
Royal Giants 8
Bushwick 1
FINAL
Bushwick Foils String Bean Williams' Shutout Effort To No Avail
The Royal Giants defeat Bushwick with great efficiency. Winning right-hander String Bean Williams limits Bushwick to just one run on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts through nine innings pitched. First baseman Freddie Hohman scores Bushwick's only run in the ninth to spoil the shutout. Otherwise, the visitors leave twelve runners on base. Game one loser Jim McGarry yields eight runs on eight hits, including doubles by String Bean Williams and shortstop Joe Hewitt, and a home run off the bat of catcher Luis Santop. It is said Santop's home run cleared the right field fence by several yards. Right fielder Johnny Pugh made a great rally-killing catch while crashing into the outfield fence.
GAME TWO
Royal Giants 3
Bushwick 5
FINAL
Bushwick Starter Eddie Girard Scores Late Decision Over Maywood Brown
Bushwick gets the better of Royal Giants starter Maywood Brown in game two, striking for five runs on nine hits, including three for extra bases by starter pitcher Eddie Girard, second baseman Taguer, and Freddie Hohman. Maywood Brown is demonstrably wild with eight walks but appearing just as fearsome with seven strikeouts, albeit in a losing effort. Bushwick unknots a three-all tie with two runs in the sixth en route to a 5-3 victory. Winning pitcher Eddie Girard allows three runs on seven hits, including two for extra bases. Royal Giants catcher Luis Santop goes 1 for 3 with a double and two runs scored. Center fielder Charles Earle and Maywood Brown lead the Giants with two hits apiece.
