Wrigley Rain Washes Out Hoots and Docs

Heavy rains in Chicago washed out today’s game between the Houston Hoots and the Chicago Docs. The game will be made up Thursday, a scheduled off-day for the two teams before the All-Star break. Chicago is in last place in the National League, just one game behind Houston. Dizzy Dean was slated to pitch for the Hoots, but the added day off will likely allow Houston to bring out Tom Seaver instead. Chicago’s ace, Dwight Gooden, is scheduled to start for the Docs.
