Stars Suffer 5-2 Loss to Cougars
The Chicago Cougars rode a solid performance from 26-year-old starting pitcher Dixie Gaines to a win, beating the Los Angeles Stars, 5-2, at Cougars Park. With the win, the Cougars improved to 55-61.

The game could have flipped with one out in the top of the eighth. But Dixie Gaines made what his manager later called "an A-plus pitch." With runners on 1st and 2nd and Los Angeles trailing 5-2, Gaines threw a splitter to Moe Holt, who hit into a double play.
