OTD Brooklyn Semipros 8/23/1935: Bushwicks Defeat Bay Parkways in Extra Innings at Dexter Park

From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS


On Friday, August 23, 1935, in another diamond tussle featuring brother versus brother, Max Rosner's Bushwick nine outduels Joe Rosner's Bay Parkway Dukes at Dexter Park.  With the victory, Bushwick takes a 3-2 lead in the season series.


Rube Chambers is called upon to make a last-minute start for Bushwick as Jim Duffy arrives at Dexter Park an inning late.  Bay Parkway takes full advantage by pushing across the game's opening run.  Otherwise, Duffy takes over slab duties in the second and is opposed by local Long Island University product Al Morris for the Dukes in a familiar match-up.

Once settled in, Jim Duffy proceeds to toss seven scoreless innings.  Meanwhile, Bushwick takes a slim lead with single runs in the fifth and sixth innings.  But the Dukes pick up Al Morris with the game-tying run in the visitor's ninth.

With one out and runners on the corners in the home tenth, right fielder Sol Mishkin's hit delivers home center fielder Al Moore (triple) with the game-winning run.

Despite 13 strikeouts and largely undone by misplays in the field, Al Morris allows three runs on 13 hits and three walks for the loss.  Jim Duffy allows one late run on eight hits and no walks with two strikeouts for the win.

OTD Brooklyn Semipros 8/17/1934: Bushwicks Shut Out Bay Parkways at Dexter Park

From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS

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.
