Buddy Bradford hit a single and double, scored two runs and batted in one to lead the Indians to a 6-2 victory over his former White Sox teammates. Bradford's single, together with hits by Jack Heidemann and Vada Pinson, produced a run in the second inning.

Ray Fosse singled in the third and crossed the plate on Bradford's double. Eddie Leon also doubled, scoring Bradford, and then counted himself on a single by Heidemann. The White Sox picked up their pair in the seventh, but Fred Lasher yielded only one hit in relief over the last 2 1/3 innings. The Indians clinched the decision with their final two tallies in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
