10-2 Loss Extends Dallas Skid
The Kansas City Kings topped the Dallas Wranglers, 10-2, in Continental Association action at Prairie Park. The standout performance belonged to Kansas City pitcher and San Jose, California, native Johnnie Higgins. The last-place Wranglers have lost 8 straight games.

The Wranglers had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Kings going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the two-time All-Star Stan Kleminski came to the plate. Kleminski hit a run-scoring double on a full count changeup from Dallas hurler Charlie Mills. It was Kleminski's 2nd double of the year.

"Not my idea of a good time," Dallas manager Tom Aiello said, when asked afterward about the game.
