Gale Strikes Out Seventeen Pittsburgh Hitters

NEW YORK, NY. August 16, 1916 - Ed Gale of the New York Gothams was something to behold at the Bronx Oval Grounds. He was on fire and fanned 17 Keystones en route to a 8-1 victory. Gale shackled Pittsburgh on 8 hits and gave up 1 walk in an outstanding performance.

"That's as good as I've ever seen him throw," his manager said. "I've never seen so many bad swings in my life. These guys didn't have a chance."

Gale had very little to say to after the game. "We won and that's the bottom line. I had a good game. And we beat Pittsburgh."

The Pittsburgh manager wasn't too happy with the game. "He pitched a very good game. You have to tip your cap to him."

In 28 starts this year Gale has recorded a 13-13 record and a 2.58 ERA.
