Habitants Earn 8-2 Win Versus Dallas
LaSalle Stadium was the site for American Baseball League action featuring the Dallas Wranglers and Montreal Habitants.

The Montreal Habitants trumped the Dallas Wranglers, 8-2, at LaSalle Stadium. Montreal right fielder Jim Compton was terrific. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Lawrence Connor. He tossed 110 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 1 run on 2 hits.

Tim Delaney had a big grand slam home run for the Habitants in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Montreal leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he sized up a knuckle curve from 36-year old right-handed pitcher Vern Gould and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Habitants on top, 8-1.

"We didn't help ourselves, it's as simple as that," said losing manager William Albrecht.

Dallas's current losing streak is now 5 games.
