In a tight game it was the St. Louis Browns 7, the Cleveland Indians 5 at
Sportsman's Park.
 
St. Louis jumped on top of Cleveland in the 7th inning scoring 2 runners on 1
hit.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Roy Sievers who made the St. Louis
fans a happy lot when he doubled bringing in two baserunners.  Both teams
ended up with 9 hits on the afternoon.  
 
The win was credited to Tom Ferrick(1-0) who went 2 and 1/3 innings allowing 1
run. Bob Lemon(1-1) was hit with the loss.  He was knocked around pretty
good, giving up 7 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings.
