Cleveland Defeated by New York, 5-3
New York pitcher Chief Williams did his part in helping his team beat the Cleveland Foresters, 5-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Williams yielded 3 runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 12-10. Ed Cooper finished the game for New York and earned his 24th save.

Al Reece had a timely hit in the top of the sixth inning. With two out and runners on 1st and 3rd, the New York first baseman hit a run-scoring single. That put the Imperials in front, 3-2.

"When there are games to be won, you win them," said New York manager Jim Abernathy.

New York is second in the Continental Association East with a record of 73-71.
