New York Gothams (1-0) 1 0 1 0 2 2 1 2 X 9 14 0
New York Wins, Topping Indianapolis, 9-6
Fans of the New York Gothams who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a New York win over the visiting Indianapolis ABCs, 9-6. Christy Mathewson started for the home team against Luis Padrón. Don Buford earned accolades for his performance. New York reliever Masahiro Tanaka picked up the win to move to 1-0. Willie Mitchell suffered the loss.

Had Johnny Callison not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Callison hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Gothams.

"We came out aggressive," said Gothams manager Daniel Makonnen. "We came out swinging the bats."
