Traders Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Burros
The Chicago Traders faced a tough opponent in Denver pitcher Dick Scorza, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Gates Crescent Park by a final score of 5-4. Scorza went 9 innings and allowed 5 runs. Chicago has now won 5 in a row.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the top of the ninth, with the game tied, Ed White was at the plate when Chicago scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Traders to go in front, 5-4.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Denver manager Clark Anderson. "The effort was great."
