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.'
