Catcher Walker Cooper had 2 base hits and 3 RBI at Griffith Stadium where the
Chicago-NL Cubs beat the Washington Nationals 8 to 7.

Chicago-NL came up with 4 runs in the 6th inning with the help of 4 hits.  The
key at-bat was by Pee Wee Reese who deflated the spirits of the home town
crowd when he hit a single bringing in two baserunners.  Washington made it
exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs across.

The victory was credited to Bubba Church(1-0) who went 7 innings, allowing 6
runs. Church got help from Jim Konstanty who earned his 1st save.  Bob
Feller(0-1) took the loss.  He gave up 8 runs in 5 innings of work.  

'This was a tough loss,' said Gordy Renaud, 'the kind that sticks with you for
awhile.'
