The Brooklyn Unions were almost helpless in their 4-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Vulcans and hurler Sy Gates. Gates kept the Unions confused all game, spinning a 4-hit shutout.

"Tip your hat to Gates," Brooklyn manager said in a postgame interview. "He kept us off balance all night."

The 29-year-old right-hander had 2 walks and 2 strikeouts in a strong performance.

"It just happened to be one of those games where even when I made mistakes, they either fouled them off or someone would make a fine defensive play," Gates said. "It was just one of those games that things went my way."

Gates has made 55 starts this season, posting 30 wins and 24 losses. Opposing clubs are batting .277 against him and he has 161 strikeouts in 467.2 innings with a 3.81 ERA.
