Brooklyn Downed, 6-5, by Packers
The Cincinnati Packers withstood a fine game by Brooklyn right fielder Jackie Cooper at Roman Arena, to upend the Bluebirds, 6-5. Cooper went 2-2 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Brian Alfieri snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-1 on the season. Bob Hill suffered the loss. The win has Cincinnati at 43-63.

The decisive blow was delivered by Len Ferrie in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Bob Hill to win the game for Cincinnati. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place sure got loud," said Martin Abresch, the Cincinnati manager.
