Cougars Roll Over Imperials, 10-3
The Chicago Cougars beat the New York Imperials, 10-3, at Cougars Park. Chicago left fielder Dode Caudill had an outstanding performance. He was 3-4 with a triple and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs. Don Griffin, who finished 4th in the FA in ERA with 3.23 last year, was the winner. He's now 5-3. The loser was Charlie Christianson. The 9th-place Imperials have dropped 4 straight games.

A key moment came with no one out in the bottom of the third. That's when Caudill hit a fastball from Charlie Christianson for a run-scoring single, putting Chicago up, 3-2.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Caudill told the Chicago Chronicle.
