On Friday, August 17, 1934, in another clash of brother versus brother, Joe Rosner's Bay Parkway Dukes are defeated by Max Rosner's Bushwicks at Dexter Park.
Bay Parkway starter Jim Duffy allows three runs on just three hits and three walks with six strikeouts in a somewhat ponderous loss against Bushwick. A tightly contested affair to be sure, the Dukes outhit Bushwick, 7 to 3, but the Dexters do a better job of bunching theirs together, depending on your point of view.
Leading off the Bushwick first, third baseman Buck Lai safely bunts his way to first, then advances when Jim Duffy fields Overton Tremper's comebacker but throws errantly to second. Right fielder Joe Rabbitt then lays another bunt down the third base line, but another errant throw, this time by Duke third baseman Tarr allows Lai to score. Overton Tremper then scores on second baseman Jimmy Calleran's fielder's choice.
With two outs in the home fourth, and runners on the corners, Bushwick executes a successful double-steal when Ed Boland takes off for second, and Jimmy Calleran scampers home giving the Dexters a 3-0 lead.
The score remains unchanged through the ninth.
Bushwick starter Art Smith allows seven hits (one for extra bases) and no walks with six strikeouts in a complete-game shutout victory. Catcher Paddy Smith was thrown out by home plate umpire Golden for excessive arguing. Charlie Hargreaves entered the game in Smith's place.
