Nationals win Lewis Cup in third game of series at Hawthorne Field, Brooklyn. Note: All of the starters in this game were foreign-born, many having performed professionally in England and Scotland. But U.S.-born players were beginning to emerge on the professional scene, New Bedford’s Arnie Oliver coming on as a second half substitute. Oliver, 21, would be named to the U.S. national team for the 1930 World Cup. Fall River’s Bert Patenaude, 20, would complete the World Cup’s first hat trick, Billy Gonsalves starring and Providence’s Tommy Florie captaining the U.S. team.
Providence 7:2 Philadelphia
Providence retained lead in ASL standings. Note: Fall River native Freddie Wall scored for Philadelphia. Wall scored 22 goals in 25 games during the 1928-29 season.
