The Chicago Hawks picked up a win at Hyde Park Stadium, topping the Los Angeles Pobladores, 5-4. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Ken Eldridge. He played a principal role in the triumph. Chicago is now 50-67.

Chuck Burton drove in one run for Chicago. With one out and the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Burton had a clutch at-bat. Facing Los Angeles hurler Phil Lester, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Hawks a 4-3 lead.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Eldridge.
