Chicago Gets 5-3 Win
The Chicago Chiefs defeated the New York Gothams, 5-3, in Federal Association action at Gotham Stadium. Chicago pitcher Angel Lopez had a standout performance. Ernie Espanoza notched his 17th save in 25 chances. Chicago sits in 4th place in the Federal Association at 72-68.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Tim Hopkins to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Chiefs ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We'll pocket this win," said Hopkins, "and then go after another."
