The Cubs sent 16 men to bat and scored 10 runs in the seventh inning to overwhelm the Cardinals, 12-0. Bill Hands, who started for the Cubs, was forced to leave the mound after being hit on the right elbow by a line drive in the fourth.

Bill Bonham, who relieved, started the Cubs' big inning with a single and beat out an infield hit on his second trip to the plate. Glenn Beckert also had two of the Cubs' eight hits in their scoring outburst. [The Sporting News]
