Cougars Handed 4-3 Loss by Kansas City
The Kansas City Mavericks grabbed a win, 4-3, over the Chicago Cougars at Cougars Park. Kansas City left fielder Tony Keil went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. Kansas City starter Fred Smith was credited with the win after throwing 97 pitches over 7.2 innings. His record now stands at 5-2. Johnny Manning got the save, his 9th in 11 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Earl Poston, the 29-year old second baseman . Poston contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Kansas City up, 4-1.

"We came in and did what we needed to do," said Kansas City manager Sakan Hashizume.

Kansas City's record now stands at 36-46, placing them 5th in the Continental Association West.
