Montreal and New York duked it out and the Habitants came out victorious.

The Montreal Habitants topped the New York Empires, 7-4, at Queens Field. Montreal second baseman Les Fitzsimmons was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2 for 5 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The first-place Habitants have won 5 in a row.

Don Hill, who is tied for 7th in the ABL in doubles with 11, helped out the Montreal cause in the top of the fifth inning with a run-scoring single. For the game, the first baseman was 2-4 with a double and a walk, while adding 2 RBI.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Fitzsimmons. "And not try to do too much."
