Suhr enjoyed a big day at the plate. He hit a single bringing in a run in the 1st inning, lofted a three-run bomb (his 12th of the season) in the 6th inning, ripped a base-knock plating a run in the 7th inning and doubled bringing in two baserunners in the 8th inning. Pittsburgh banged out 18 on the afternoon. Birkofer(15-10), allowing 4 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Charlie Root(7-4) absorbed the loss in relief. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 4 runs in 2 innings. Pittsburgh now has a record of 82-60. With the loss, the Chicago ballclub's record is 83-60.

Suhr provided much of the offense. He lashed a single in the 2nd inning, rifled a three-run blast in the 6th inning and lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 14th of the season) in the 8th inning. Overall Pittsburgh out-hit Chicago 17 to 11. Bill Harris(3-0) went 7 innings allowing 3 runs for the victory. Bud Tinning(6-8) was the loser. He was touched for 8 hits and 2 walks in 4 innings. 'Suhr led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,' Harris said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my team.'
