Kings Stay Hot with Extra-Inning Win
The Kansas City Kings faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher Carl Potter, but still scratched out a win at Prairie Park by a final score of 4-3 in 12 innings. Potter went 9 innings and allowed 3 runs. The Kings, at 77-53, sit in first place in the Continental Association.

Fred McHenry clinched the win with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the 12th. In the game, the Kansas City right fielder drove in one run.

"This game will make a man of you," said Glenn Carney, the Kansas City skipper, "if it doesn't kill you first."
