The first game of the 4th Presidents Cup Series took place yesterday at the Bronx Oval Grounds in New York. It was a beautiful September afternoon, a cool 59 degrees and a slight breeze blowing in front center, but it certainly wasn't a good day for the home team.

It was a close one until the 6th, but two singles, a walk, a sacrifice fly and a 2-out, 2-run triple made it 5-0. A 4-run 8th put it out of reach, and two more in the 9th made it embarrassing.

There was no doubt about the player of the game. Dummy Dell, Brooklyn's short stop, hit a home run in the 8th, and then got up again in the 9th and hit another! However, we can't forget about McNaughton, the Titans pitcher who allowed just one earned run and one walk. He kept the Gothams offense at bay and picked up the win.
