Habitants Take Tight Tilt, 5-2
Montreal Habitants starter Lawrence Connor was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Boston Terriers, 5-2. Montreal reliever Dave Quinlan snagged the win, upping his record to 3-1. Layton Taylor shouldered the loss. Montreal has a record of 10-11.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the tenth for Montreal. That's when Jim Compton hit a 3-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Layton Taylor to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Compton said in his postgame press conference.
