Skidding Cougars Lose 7th Straight
Kansas City took on Chicago in front of a lively crowd.

Chicago got a terrific game from right fielder Jerry Smith. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Kansas City, 6-3. Smith went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Kansas City pitcher Tony Britten got the win, upping his record to 3-1. Dixie Gaines got the loss.

Dutch Miller came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The pinch hitter smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 6-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We bring energy to every game," said losing manager Doc Woods. "But it's got to translate into wins."

With the loss, Chicago is 10-16.
