American Giants Edge Past Spiders, 8-7
League Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Chicago American Giants and Cleveland Spiders.

A good performance from third baseman Dick Allen helped the Chicago American Giants defeat the Cleveland Spiders, 8-7. Allen was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the American Giants. Reliever Tom Williams picked up the win. His record improves to 2-0. Terry Adams, who is a two-time All-Star, took the loss.

Frank Thomas went 1 for 2 with 2 walks, while scoring 2 times for Chicago. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Terry Adams. It was his 71st RBI of the season.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Thomas told the Chicago Times.

Chicago is 49-59 and Cleveland, with the loss, 58-47.
