Grimm 5-for-5 for Cougars
It was a great day at the plate for Bill Grimm. For his Chicago Cougars, the day was not nearly as good.

The second baseman collected 5 hits in 5 tries, but his club still came up short in the win column. The Cleveland Foresters snatched the victory, topping the Cougars by a score of 8-6.

"Well that wasn't how it was supposed to end," Grimm said later. "I'll just have to do it again and get it right."

Bill Grimm singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Bob V James in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This season, Grimm is batting .246 with 6 home runs.
