Bluebirds Win at Cincinnati, 7-4
Jerry Anderson did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Cincinnati Packers from being beaten, 7-4, to the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Roman Arena. Anderson was 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2. Earning his 13th save for Brooklyn was Bob Hill. The Bluebirds bumped their record to 26-25 with this latest triumph.

Brooklyn used the timely hitting of Jackie Cooper to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bluebirds on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Cooper.
