Polk Guns Down Cougars
George Polk dominated the Chicago Cougars with a brilliant 6-hit shutout in the 9-0 Montreal Saints triumph at Parc Cartier II. The Montreal hurler fanned 2 and walked 1 in the game and was singled out for praise afterward by the opposing manager.

"He really kept us in check today," Cougars skipper Doc Woods said in postgame comments. "Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away. We took some pathetic swings."

Checking out his stats for the season, Polk has registered 2 wins and 2 losses in 5 starts, posted a 3.90 ERA, and struck out 14 batters in 32.1 innings.
