In the presence of a record-breaking crowd, Camden A. C. went down to defeat at the hands of the Lincoln Stars by a score of 9 to 7. Rapp started to pitch for Camden, but retired early, owing to a bad arm. The Stars gathering four runs in the opener, one of which was a smash for the circuit by Johnson.
Camden gave hope to the fans in the fifth, when Lillig hit for a home run with two on bases, bringing the home team within one of the score of the Stars.
