Chiefs Pick Up 10-6 Win Against St. Louis
The Chicago Chiefs beat the St. Louis Pioneers by a score of 10-6. Chicago third baseman Homer Mills deserved the lion's share of the credit. Mills was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Chiefs. Gene Amico picked up the win, improving his season record to 6-6. He struck out 1 in 7 innings. Chicago, at 47-37, sits in third place in the Federal Association.

Tim Hopkins went 2 for 5 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs for Chicago. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the third. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a 2-run single off Coaker Vecchio. It was his 61st hit of the season.

Hopkins told a Chicago Citizen reporter that he was "very pleased" with the win.
