Stars Turn Back Kansas City, 6-5
Kansas City right fielder Hank Williams was sensational. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Los Angeles beat the Kings, 6-5. Getting the save was Hank Myer, his 2nd. Los Angeles goes to 4-1 with the win.

Los Angeles took the lead, 6-5, on Joe Cook's 2nd home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Kansas City pitcher Fred Whitt in the bottom of the seventh.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Cook told the Los Angeles Gazette. "You win just by scoring more runs."
