Cougars Lose to Kansas City, 4-2
Kansas City pitcher Cal Newman had a large part in his team subduing the Chicago Cougars, 4-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Reliever Charlie Rude picked up the win. His record improves to 3-1. Pug White, who finished 2nd in the CA in wins with 18 in 1959, took the loss. Charlie Wolf earned the save for Kansas City, his 13th of the year.

Kansas City took control in the bottom of the sixth. With two out and the bases loaded, Earl Poston hit a 2-run single to make it 4-2, Mavericks.

Said losing manager Pug Bryan: "'I liked the effort, just not the results."

The win puts the Mavericks at 60-93, while the Cougars drop to 70-84.
