Chicago Gets 5-3 Win
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Chicago American Giants and Memphis Red Sox.

Chicago picked up a win at Fenway Park, bumping off the Memphis Red Sox, 5-3. Pitcher Ed Walsh was a major reason the American Giants emerged victorious. Walsh, now 8-7, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 6, walking 0, and allowing 3 runs.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Carlton Fisk? The Chicago catcher had a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put the American Giants on top, 3-1. For the game, Fisk had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Chicago manager Daniel Makonnen.

The 'W' lifts Chicago's record to 51-64.
