Pobladores Rally to Nose Past Montreal
The Los Angeles Pobladores topped the Montreal Habitants, 2-1, in American Baseball League action at San Vicente Park. The standout performance belonged to Los Angeles pitcher and Abilene, Texas, native Phil Lester. With the victory, the Pobladores upped their record to 50-46.

The decisive blow was delivered by John Fine in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off two-time All-Star Al Johns to win the game for Los Angeles. The home crowd went nuts.

"We busted our tails," said Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon. "But we came up short."
