Tom Gorman was great in relief and Vic Power blasted a homerun and had 2 RBI

as the Kansas City Athletics outscored the Chicago White Sox 14 to

10.



Chicago never recovered after Kansas City took the lead in the bottom of the

7th inning as they scored 5 runs on 2 base hits. The big moment was provided

by Joe Astroth who came through for the home fans when he electrified the

crowd with a Grand Slam home run (his 9th of the season). Chicago was not

lacking for run support as they scored in 5 separate innings, yet victory

eluded them as they seemed to forget that pitching is also needed to win

ballgames.



Gus Keriazakos(1-0) was the winner allowing 1 run in 1 and 2/3 innings. Gorman

earned the save, his 16th. Al Papai(0-1) was the loser in relief. He

allowed 4 runs and 2 hits in 1 and 1/3 innings.
