The Kansas City Kings and Chicago Cougars obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

The Chicago Cougars could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Bobby Crooks into a win. Instead, the Kansas City Kings prevailed, 9-8. Crooks came in in relief and pitched to 20 batters. Tony Britten earned the win to go to 6-1. He allowed 5 runs on 10 hits, with 4 walks and 7 strikeouts in 8 innings of work.

Bob Schmelz had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the second for Kansas City. With a runner on 3rd and the Kings leading 8-1, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"We're not exactly playing great right now," said Doc Woods, the Chicago manager.

Chicago's current losing streak has reached 5 games.
