5 Straight Wins for Traders
Milwaukee pitcher Lou Leavitt gave the Traders all they could handle, but in the end, Chicago left Milwaukee Municipal Stadium with a win, 2-1. Leavitt allowed 2 runs on 1 hit over 8.1 innings. The winner was Chip Littlejohn in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Lou Leavitt took the loss. The Traders raised their record to 7-2.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Ralph Taylor to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Traders on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We faced good pitching and still got it done," said Taylor.
