Cougars Earn Win with Late Rally
A good time was had by all at Cougars Park, where the Kansas City Mavericks and Chicago Cougars tangled.

The Chicago Cougars picked up a win at Cougars Park, knocking off the Kansas City Mavericks, 3-2. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Roger Alford. He played a key role in the triumph. Chicago reliever Jim Norris was the winner. His record is now 9-14. Orville Johnson took the loss.

Mack Pixley had a clutch hit in the bottom of the eighth inning. With two men out and the bases loaded, the Chicago shortstop hit a 2-run single. That put the Cougars in the lead, 3-2.

"Winning is seldom easy in this league," said Pixley.

The Cougars raised their record to 73-86.
