| Chicago Defeated by Montreal, 11-4 | The 3-RBI night of center fielder Joe Austin, who finished 4th in the CA in doubles with 34 in 1949, helped the Montreal Saints triumph, 11-4, over the Chicago Cougars. Montreal pitcher John Grimes got the win. He's now 4-0. Bobby Crooks was tagged with the loss. The 5th-place Saints go to 39-44.
The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Maurice Carter came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Chicago pitcher Bobby Crooks, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Montreal on top, 5-3.
"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Carter.
