Chicago Tribune 21 May 1931
Sports Extra
It was a real thriller at the ball park last night!
Starter Jones was in trouble all night, but seemed to
get the clutch strikeout when he needed it most! Jones is
now third in the league in strikouts, and 3rd as well in
victories.
Reliever Mort came on in the ninth, and made it mighty
exciting, before striking out their clean-up man Dabney with
the bases loaded to end the game.
The Tiger manager Hoffman was ejected in the first inning, over
a close play at first base. This created a tense game, enjoyed
very much by the capacity crowd.
Detroit remains in first place in their division, and the Cubs
stretch their lead to 2 games with the win.
The Cubs, at 27-16 are on pace to win 102 games this year.
Game No.: 428.
