Irv Higginbotham went the distance as the incredible Chicago Cubs defeated the
St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 6 to 4 at West Side
Park.

Higginbotham(5-4) gave Chicago a solid outing.  He went 9 innings and
surrended up 9 hits and 1 walk.  Chicago rapped out 12 hits for the
afternoon.  

The loss was charged to Les Backman(5-8).  He got hit pretty hard, allowing 11
hits and 2 walks in 7 and 2/3 innings.  Chicago continued their winnings ways
improving their record to a league leading 87-43.  They are 8-2 in their last
ten games.  Roger Bresnahan was unhappy with his club's recent performance.
'We can't keep losing games' he said.  'It gets to be embarrassing after a
while.'
