  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E

Boston Braves (14-21) 4 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 X 11 19 0
Braves Deal Cubs 11-5 Setback
Boston first baseman Elbie Fletcher had a 4-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Chicago Cubs, 11-5. The 7th-place Braves hiked their record to 14-21.

Boston went up, 5-4, on Jeff Heath's 6th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Heath hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Red Ruffing feeling deflated.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Fletcher told the Boston Chronicle.
