Kings Pull Out Late Win, 3-2
Kansas City picked up a win at Dominion Stadium, bumping off the Toronto Wolves, 3-2. Pitcher Jack Halbur was a major reason the Kings emerged victorious. The winner was Halbur. He threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was George Hoxworth. Kansas City is now 104-45, 13½ games up in the Continental Association.

Hank Williams came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City. The first baseman smacked a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Halbur.
