On Wednesday, June 4, 1924, the Brooklyn Royal Giants defeated the Dukes at Allentown Park, Pennsylvania. Pitching for the Royal Giants, Smokey Joe Williams limits the Allentown Dukes to one run on six hits, including extra-base hits by the center fielder Moran and catcher Joe Hyde who drives home the Dukes only run, thus spoiling the shutout back in the third. Otherwise, Cyclone Williams allowed no hits after the third inning while issuing no walks and striking out seven through nine complete innings pitched. In fact, Allentown's only base runner after the third, Joe Guiterez, was picked off first base by Williams. Brooklyn jumps out to a 2-0 lead in the third on run-scoring doubles by second baseman Bunny Downs and captain Eddie Douglas. Catcher Charlie Spearman leads the Giants with three hits, including Brooklyn's third extra-base hit. Third baseman Johnson Hill drives home Brooklyn's third and final run in the sixth. Left fielder Bob Scott, center fielder Jules Thomas, and Downs each score a run apiece. Allentown starter Weldon Wychoff yields eleven hits and two walks with five strikeouts in a losing effort.
