The Chicago Cougars went home winners at Cougars Park, thanks in large part to starter Donnie Jones. Jones stifled the Kansas City Kings, enabling Chicago to grab the 4-1 win. The 6th-place Cougars hiked their record to 47-58.

It was a remarkable effort from Jones, who is one of the team leaders. Jones recorded 7 strikeouts in 9 innings while allowing 6 hits. Jones, who won the Allen Award in 1947, moves to 8-10 on the year with 87 strikeouts.

"I expect to pitch a complete game every time out," said Jones.
