Black Sox Victorious at Chicago, 6-5
In a tight contest at South Side Park, the Baltimore Black Sox edged the Chicago American Giants by the score of 6-5. Baltimore catcher Curt Blefary, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Joe Beggs, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 4th save. The defending champion Black Sox are off to a horrible start to the season, notching only their 11th win in 30 games.

With a runner on 1st and no one out in the top of the sixth inning, left fielder Frank Robinson delivered big for the Black Sox. Baltimore was trailing 4-2 when he belted a 2-run home run.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Robinson told the Baltimore Today.
