WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Pee Wee Reese robbed Gene Woodling of a base hit.

Bobby Avila had 3 base hits as the Philadelphia-AL Athletics topped the
Chicago-NL Cubs by a score of 4 to 3 at Shibe Park.

Philadelphia-AL scored 2 runs in the decisive 5th inning.  Chicago-NL
threatened in the 9th but Philadelphia-AL was able to put down the rally.

Mike Garcia(4-2) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. Sam Zoldak
earned his 3rd save.  The loss was charged to Willie Ramsdell(4-1).  

Ron Mead was in a sour mood after the game.  'Even you guys up in the press
box know why we lost this game. We made too many mistakes.'
