Ken Eldridge, the winner, goes to 4-6. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits, with 5 walks and 7 strikeouts over 7 innings. Detroit, at 39-35, has lost 4 straight.

Don Bozza, who is tied for 6th in the ABL in RBI with 46, took Detroit hurler William Matz deep in the bottom of the first. His 2-run home run put the Hawks on top, 2-0. In all, Bozza had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"I'm proud to wear a Chicago jersey," Bozza told the Chicago Daily News. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
