Max Rosner's Bushwick club packed their suitcases and traveled to the City of Brotherly Love, where on Tuesday, August 20, 1935, they took on Ed Bolden's Philadelphia Stars of the Negro National League at the Pennsylvania Railroad Y.M.C.A. Field, 44th Street, and Parkside Avenue.
"DEXTERS TOP PHILLY STARS"
Toeing the slab for Bushwich, Rube Chambers is opposed by southpaw Lefty Holmes twirling for the Stars. Philly opens the scoring with three in the second. But Bushwick answers back in the fourth with three of their own. The score remains unchanged through the sixth. The Stars then seize a 4-3 lead in the seventh.
Lefty Holmes issues a walk to Bushwick second baseman Dutch Woerner with two outs in the top of the eighth, then hits right fielder Sol Mishkin with a pitch. Third baseman Willie Batch singles driving home Woerner, and Eppie Barnes follows with a double plating Mishkin and Batch for a 6-4 lead and the final margin of victory.
Lefty Holmes takes the loss, allowing all six runs on eight hits and five walks with seven strikeouts. Rube Chambers yields four runs on ten hits and five walks with four strikeouts for the win.
Stars' third baseman Dewey Creacy homers and drives home two. Right fielder Ted Page and second baseman Dick Seay drive home a run apiece. Center fielder Lloyd Davenport leads Philly with three hits, including a double with two runs scored. Catcher Biz Mackey goes 1 for 2 with a run scored, and first baseman Jud Wilson wields a double in three trips to the plate.
