Cubs Snatch Late-Game, 4-3 Win
Chicago right-hander Hank Wyse pitched his team to victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers at Wrigley Field. The final score was 4-3. The Cubs raised their record to 9-5.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Chicago left fielder Ted Williams, facing George Caster, had a run-scoring ground out. It gave the Cubs the 4-3 win.

Wyse called the win a test of his team's "mettle."
