Whistlers Lose By a Run at Chicago
In a low-scoring tilt between the Chicago Gangsters and the Boston Whistlers, 24-year old right-handed pitcher Butch Saulters was the difference-maker. The Chicago right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. The winner was Saulters. He threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Pat Wilber. The last-place Gangsters go to 47-83.

The Whistlers had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Gangsters going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 27-year old left fielder Hiromichi Sato came to the plate. Sato hit a 2-run home run on a 2-1 curveball from Boston hurler Pat Wilber. It was Sato's 8th home run of the year.

"We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Boston skipper Ben Foster.
