Hawks Get Past New York for 3-2 Win
The Chicago Hawks picked up a win at Hyde Park Stadium, taking down the New York Empires, 3-2. Starting pitcher Ken Eldridge was a big reason why. Eldridge yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 3, and struck out 9. His record improves to 3-0. Chicago now sits at 16-22, while New York falls to 20-17.

Ray Gardner was the walk-off hero for Chicago. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Hawks third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This wasn't a good win," said Gardner. "It was a great win."
