Hawks Down Wranglers, 4-3
The Chicago Hawks had to overcome a fine effort from Dallas pitcher Art Stager to win, 4-3, at Bluff Park. Stager went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. Chicago is 44-72 and Dallas, with the loss, 58-58.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Andy Bires to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Hawks on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Bottom line," said Dallas skipper William Albrecht, "we didn't play well enough to win."
