The score was tied at 5 after nine.  New York won it in the 12th inning.  Red

York finished with 13 hits while Chicago ended up with 9.  
 
The victory went to Mike McCormick(1-0) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Dave Hillman(1-1) was hit with the loss in relief.  'We really needed this

came up short.  
 
Clem Labine earned his 3rd save.  Johnny Klippstein(2-2) was given the loss.

Lopata who quieted the crowd when he cracked a two-run shot (his 5th of the
season).  The game was a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.  
 
The victory went to Roberts(4-2) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Lew
Burdette(2-3) ended up with the loss.  He pitched 6 innings and surrendered 7
hits and 2 walks.
