Traders Cuff Burros, 12-2
The Chicago Traders pasted the Denver Burros with a convincing 12-2 defeat at Union Field. John Sledd was a prime factor in the Chicago win. He went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. The loss makes Denver 50-28.

The Burros had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Traders going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Fran Precourt came to the plate. Precourt hit a run-scoring double on a 2-2 changeup from Denver hurler Bob Langham. It was Precourt's 13th double of the year.

"We can't expect to win," said Denver manager Clark Anderson, "when we play like that."
