The Chicago Cubs toppled the Milwaukee Braves by a 8 to 4 score at Wrigley
Field.
Chicago came up with 4 runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning. The crucial
at-bat was provided by Jim King who electrified Wrigley Field when he lost
the ball over the fence for three runs (his 11th of the season). Chicago had
9 hits overall, while Milwaukee had 6.
The victory was credited to Bob Rush(12-9) who went 8 innings, allowing 2
runs. Ray Crone(6-6) was the losing pitcher. He served up 3 homeruns in his
7 innings.
Bill Sarni scored the winning run on a wild pitch from Joe Nuxhall as the Cardinals edge the Redlegs 4-3.

Bob Lemon was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete
game at Municipal Stadium where the Cleveland Indians beat the reeling Kansas
City Athletics 8 to 2.
Al Smith provided much of the offense. He lofted a three-run bomb (his 15th
of the season) in the 4th inning, doubled in the 6th inning and delivered a
base-hit scoring two baserunners in the 8th inning. Cleveland won despite
being out-hit by Kansas City 12 hits to 8.
The victory was credited to Lemon(10-9) who went the distance, allowing 2
runs. Arnie Portocarrero(6-3) was the losing pitcher.
The Cleveland ballclub's record now stands at 65-48. Not able to get much
going in recent weeks, Kansas City is 1-9 of late and now has an overall
record of 38-76.
Harvey Keunn hit a walk off double as the Tigers drop the red hot White Sox 4-3.
