Fans of the Cleveland Black Cats who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a Cleveland win over the visiting Brooklyn Cuban Stars, 2-1. Phillie Brown started for the home team against Larry Eagle. Larry Eagle earned accolades for his performance. Cleveland reliever Ernest Jones picked up the win to move to 1-0. Gerard Riggins suffered the loss.

The decisive blow was delivered by Henry Taylor in the bottom of the 13th when he hit a solo home run off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Gerard Riggins to win the game for Cleveland. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place went bonkers at the end," Taylor said.
