Pobladores Win, 10-2, at Chicago
The Los Angeles Pobladores pinned a convincing loss on the Chicago Hawks, 10-2, at Hyde Park Stadium. Richie Lord was a main factor in the win. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Los Angeles. Chicago, at 64-97, has lost 4 straight.

Los Angeles used a well-timed hit by Chuck Gunter to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Pobladores ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

Chicago manager Mike Flaherty called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."
