BROOKLYN - On Friday, July 9, 1937, within two miles of where I presently live, the Mount Vernon Scarlets defeated the local Bay Ridge nine on their home grounds at 15th Avenue at 86st Street, Brooklyn. A four-run outburst in the eighth inning seals Mount Vernon's victory. Bay Ridge starter Simmons yields seven runs on ten hits and three walks with three strikeouts in a losing effort. For Bay Ridge, their second consecutive loss.

WOODHAVEN - Meanwhile, over at Dexter Park, Bushwick and the Carltons engage in a tightly contested affair. Center fielder Al Moore crosses the plate in the fourth. Otherwise, Mount Vernon's young Charles Matuch and Joe "Dutch" Stryker for Bushwick engage in an eight-inning duel. Facing Stryker in the ninth, pinch hitter Bob Synnott singles to center field, scoring pinch-runner Bill Simmons and catcher Bert Arlington for a 2-1 lead. The Scarlets' Emil Moskowitz secures the win tossing a scoreless bottom half of the ninth. This marks only Bushwick's eleventh loss against 24 victories to date.
