Stars Clip Wolves, 6-5
The Los Angeles Stars beat the Toronto Wolves by a score of 6-5. Los Angeles second baseman Bill Bell deserved the lion's share of the credit. Bell was 3 for 5 with 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Stars. Los Angeles reliever Ed Blanchard picked up the win to move to 4-1. Dick Miller suffered the loss. The Stars, at 79-48, sit in first place in the Continental Association West.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 26-year old right fielder Gene Martin had a chance to be the hero. Toronto pitcher Dick Miller wanted to foil that plan. But with no outs, Martin hit a sacrifice fly. The Stars had themselves a thrilling win.

"It's fun when you can help the team win games," said Martin.
