Bluebirds Absorb 5-1 Home Loss
The Pittsburgh Industrials picked up a win at Flatbush Park, topping the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 5-1. On the mound for Pittsburgh was right-hander Jerry Zaruba. He played a principal role in the triumph. The first-place Industrials, at 64-48, now lead their division by 5½ games.

Pittsburgh used a clutch at-bat from Don Keough to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Industrials ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Nice win for us," said Keough. "Now we'll go after the next one."
