On Friday, August 16, 1935, the Negro National League Brooklyn Eagles defeated the Springfield Grays, 5-0, at Sherwood Oval, Springfield Gardens, Queens.
Brooklyn Eagle starter Billy Nicholas hurls a gem, limiting the Springfield Grays to just three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in a complete-game shutout victory. His batterymate Clarence Palm is the Eagles hitting star, going 2 for 3 with a home run and three runs batted in. Otherwise, the Grays limit Brooklyn to five hits, the other accounted for by Fats Jenkins, Bill Sadler, and George Giles, who drives home a run.

Meanwhile, back in Brooklyn, not more than two miles from where I presently live, fellow members of the Negro National League, the Newark Dodgers defeated the Bay Ridge Baseball Club at Bay Ridge Oval, 15th Avenue at 86th Street.
Despite yielding ten hits, Newark hurler William Bell puts forth a fine performance, limiting the Bay Ridgers to one run, one walk, with eight strikeouts for the win. Six different Dodgers wield multiple hits. Third baseman Ray Dandridge goes 2 for 3 with a run scored. Left fielder Jim Williams goes 2 for 5 with a double and a run scored, and center fielder Marvin Barker triples and scored.
Bay Ridge first baseman Al Ambramowitz goes 2 for 4 with a double, and second baseman Bobby Cummings wields a double and scores the home team's only run.
