| Cougars Secure 4-2 Win | Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Chicago Cougars got the win.
The Chicago Cougars picked up a win at Stade Montreal, downing the Montreal Saints, 4-2. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Roger Alford, who played a pivotal role in the win. The winner was Alford. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was John Roberts. Jim Norris finished to wrap up his 8th save.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Charlie Sanders? The Chicago catcher had a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Cougars on top, 1-0. For the game, Sanders had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
Sanders attributed the win to his team's "grittiness."
Chicago, at 23-33, sits in 5th place in the Continental Association West.
