| Richard hits 2 home runs in Chiefs Win | In a tight contest at Whitney Park, the Chicago Chiefs edged the Philadelphia Keystones by the score of 6-5. Chicago catcher Jim Richard, who blasted 2 home runs, was a key contributor. The Chiefs, at 49-55, sit in 5th place in the Federal Association.
Richard had a key at-bat for Chicago in the bottom of the second. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and gave Chicago an early 2-0 lead.
"Good, gritty kind of win," said Chiefs manager Carl Burbach.
