Columbians Pick Up 3-2 Win Over Milwaukee
The Milwaukee Creams got a superb performance from pitcher Norm Schmitt, but the New York Columbians still won the game, 3-2. Schmitt threw 9.0 innings of 6-hit ball. New York is 5th in the Federal League with a record of 24-29.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bobby Utley? The New York third baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Columbians on top, 3-1. For the game, Utley had 1 double and 2 singles in 3 at-bats.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Milwaukee manager .
