Hawks Rack Up 3-1 Win Versus Houston
Wet weather did not postpone the Chicago-Houston ballgame.

The Chicago Hawks got a magnificent effort from pitcher Ken Eldridge, who kept Houston hitters in check en route to a 3-1 Hawks win at Hyde Park Stadium. The win has Chicago at 2-1.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the top of the fourth inning, but Eldridge was able to pitch out of a jam. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and Houston trailing 3-1, Eldridge retired Jackie Frost, who grounded out.
