Johnnie Higgins brought his A-game to help Kansas City defeat the Los Angeles Stars, 4-1. In 7 innings, Higgins surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. Getting the save was Del Lamb, his 2nd.

Al Farmer, who finished 3rd in the CA in triples with 13 in 1950, aided the Kansas City cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the second baseman went 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"It wasn't a very good day at the ballpark," said Los Angeles manager Charley McCullough.

Kansas City, now 4-1, is setting the league on fire so far.
