Cleveland parlayed a decent outing from starter Dick Couture into a solid win over the Chicago Cougars. The final score was 8-4. Couture, now 8-5, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 2, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. Cleveland has run its win streak to 4 consecutive.

With Cleveland leading 2-1 in the top of the fourth, Couture hit a 2-run single off Chicago hurler Jim Norris. It was the 8th hit of the season for Couture and put his team ahead, 4-1.

Couture told the Cleveland Chronicle: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
