The Chicago Traders locked up a win at Union Field, knocking off the St. Louis Explorers, 5-4. On the mound for Chicago was left-hander Bobby Peters. He played a major role in the triumph. The Traders lead the National Baseball League Western Division by 7 games.

Chicago first baseman John Sledd contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 182nd hit of the season and put the Traders ahead, 5-3.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood said, following the tough loss.
