Playing under Kansas City's portable light system‚ the Pittsburgh (later Homestead) Grays 44-year-old hurler Smokey Joe Williams (27 strikeouts) spins a one-hitter to defeat the Monarchs' Chet Brewer (19 strikeouts‚ including 10 in a row starting in the 7th) 1-0 in a fiercely contested 12-inning matchup. Oscar Charleston scores the only run.

Were they good lights?
