Black Sox Stumble, Lose to Spiders
Cleveland left fielder Johnny Bates was a significant contributor in his team's 10-4 triumph over the Baltimore Black Sox. He went 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for the Spiders. Baltimore, at 50-67, has lost 5 straight.

Cleveland used the hitting of Willie McCovey to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Spiders on top, 2-1. For the game, McCovey had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Cleveland skipper Daniel Makonnen.
