The Chicago Chiefs got a stellar performance from pitcher Johnny Duncan, who handcuffed the Pittsburgh offense en route to a win, 6-2, at Whitney Park. Duncan, now 7-7, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 3, walking 6, and allowing 2 runs. With this game in the books, Chicago is 49-56, Pittsburgh 46-58.

In the bottom of the sixth, Joe Rutherford delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Chicago left fielder hit a run-scoring single, putting the Chiefs in front, 6-2.

"We'll savor this win," Rutherford told the Chicago Herald, "then get ready for the next game."
