Cy Seymour had a complete game at Polo Grounds as the New York Giants beat the Washington Senators by the count of 3 to 1. Seymour(1-0) had a strong outing. He surrendered only 5 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. The Washington offense proved no trouble in the 9th. Effie Norton(1-1) ended up with the loss. He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an earned run in his 8 innings of work.
