Kings Grind Out 2-1 Win
Kansas City got a first-rate effort from pitcher Jack Halbur, who frustrated New York hitters en route to a 2-1 Kings triumph at Dyckman Stadium. Del Lamb collected his 8th save. The Kings, at 35-20, sit in first place in the Continental Association.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Pat Davis? The Kansas City right fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Kings on top, 2-1. For the game, Davis had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's about putting our team in the best position to win ballgames," said Halbur.
