Cougars Lose to Los Angeles, 8-7
Jerry Smith did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Chicago Cougars from being beaten, 8-7, to the Los Angeles Stars at Bigsby Stadium. Smith went 2-3 with a triple and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times. Paul Anderson picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 6 runs on 9 hits, while walking 8 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 9-5. Harry Trinity recorded his 10th save for Los Angeles.

Tied up with the Cougars in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Stars got a boost from second baseman Charlie Barrell. With the bases loaded, Barrell saw a first pitch sinker from Donnie Jones and hit a 2-run single to break the stalemate and put Los Angeles on top, 8-6.

"When you win, you always have confidence," said Los Angeles skipper Ken Tannen. "Nobody likes to lose. Losing is a downer. That's how we look at it. It's always good to win."

Los Angeles now sports a record of 34-40.
