In a scheduled doubleheader at Ebbets Field, the Robins beat the Giants, 12 – 3, in the opener. The nitecap, called on account of darkness after three innings with no score, will turn out to be the final contest between managers Wilbert Robinson and John McGraw, one-time friends and business partners, but now bitter enemies. McGraw has the edge, 197-190, with five ties.
