Chicago Tribune 30 May 1931
Sports Extra
The Cubs won their franchise-record 11th in a row today, but
it may have been a costly one.
Ace Oscar McHone injured his pitching arm in the very first
inning....and will likely be out for the entire month of June.
Oscar pretty much trashed the clubhouse, with his good hand,
after being taken from the game.
Celebrations were subdued after the victory, as the players know
that McHone is a big reason for their success this year.
Said Manager Clarkson---"We got Marc Walters back, and he is
a fine, fine pitcher. We will miss Oscar a lot, but I think we
will be OK...we don't want to rush Oscar back, and risk a worse
injury."
A whole gaggle of pitchers finished the game for the Cubs, with Innis
picking up his first win.
Right Fielder Williams hit in his 19th straight game, and as you
may know, holds the Major League record at 37.
Game No.: 507.
