In front of a sold out crowd of 42,000, the Chicago White Sox pleased baseball's National Committee by winning an exhibition game against the United Baseball Association's champion, the New York Gothams.

New York didn't go down with a fight, however, and they certainly had a shot to win. Amazingly, Floyd Bennett, who was pitching for New York, gave up seven runs in the game. But only one was earned. Three errors came at very bad times for the Gothams.

Clark, Edward, and Willis each had two hits for New York, and Murphy and Jackson had two hits for Chicago. The real standout on offense was Joe Jackson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI.
