Pobladores Sunk by Empires
The New York Empires besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Los Angeles right fielder Richie Lord by beating the Pobladores, 5-4, at Queens Field. Lord went 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The second-place Empires have won 4 straight games.

Had Lowell Bickle not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Bickle hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Empires.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Bickle said.
