The Kansas City Stars got a strong performance from pitcher Eddie Houston, who stymied the Saint Louis offense en route to a win, 4-2, at Ballpark of Saint Louis. Houston yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 9 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 3-3. Saint Louis now has a record of 12-11.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Bus Tolliver to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm a bit of a clubhouse prankster," said Houston. "But it's all business when we're on the field."
