Gothams Lose at Home, 5-2
Kansas City pitcher Joe Beggs did his part in helping his team beat the New York Gothams, 5-2. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. With the win, Kansas City raised its record to 69-69.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Cool Papa Bell, the speedster . Bell contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put Kansas City up, 2-1.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Beggs said.
