Drillers Prevail, 3-1, Over Los Angeles
Starting pitcher Dick Knight was a major factor in the 3-1 Houston Drillers triumph over the Los Angeles Pobladores. At 37-51, the Drillers claim last place in the American Baseball League Western Division.

Lowell Bickle, who finished 2nd in the ABL in hits with 193 last year, took Los Angeles hurler Bob Powell deep in the bottom of the second. His 2-run home run put the Drillers on top, 2-0. In all, Bickle had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

Bickle attributed the win to his team's "steely resolve."
