Clarence James was a major contributor to the 7-3 Baltimore win over Chicago. The Clippers first baseman went 4 for 6 with a triple and 2 doubles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Buck Guthrie got credit for the win, improving to 6-1. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 8 innings. With the loss, Chicago drops to 19-15.

With Baltimore leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, James hit a cutter from Walt Jackson for a 2-run double. It was his 6th double of the season and put the Clippers ahead, 3-0.

James attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
