BROOKLYN ROYAL GIANTS

Backed by flawless fielding, Brooklyn's 46-years young right-hander Dick "Cannonball" Redding limits the Eastsiders to just three hits in a complete-game shutout effort.  Only Red Sox's first baseman Chuck Jamieson could corral Cannonball's offerings for two of Eastside's three hits.  Redding helps himself with a hit, but third baseman Bucky Johnson leads Brooklyn with a triple, home run, and two runs scored.  First baseman Ed Rile also accounts for two hits and Brooklyn's third run.
