Cougars Use Late Surge to Win
Toronto got a terrific performance from pitcher George Hoxworth, but it wasn't enough to beat the Chicago Cougars. Chicago won the Dominion Stadium contest, 5-2. Hoxworth threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. The win was credited to two-time All-Star Pug White in relief. His record improves to 9-8. Whitey Stewart took the loss. The loss makes Toronto 37-57.

Chicago used a timely hit from 30-year old second baseman Buddy Byrd to get the win. The second baseman delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cougars on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was huge.

"Winning is not something we take for granted," Byrd said.
