Carl Hubbell went the distance at Wrigley Field as the New York Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4 to 3. It was Hubbell's 7th win and complete game in as many starts.

Chicago lost it in the 6th inning when New York did all their damage scoring 4 runners on 3 hits. The critical plate appearance was by Gus Mancuso, who disappointed the partisan crowd when he cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 2nd of the season). Chicago threatened in the 9th but New York was able to put down the rally. Hubbell (7-0) finished the game allowing 3 runs in the victory. Charlie Root(2-1) was tagged with the loss. Giants manager Bill Terry was beaming after the game, 'I don't know when Carl's going to lose. Heck, I don't know if he's ever going to fail to complete a ball game! He's just awesome right now. We need to support him and our other pitchers the way they've supported us. If we do, there's no reason we can't win the pennant again this year.'
