Boston Minutemen starter Bill Kelly was dealing. He helped his team knock off the Chicago Chiefs, 5-2. Kelly got the win, improving to 3-5. He gave up 6 hits and walked 4 over 6.1 innings. He allowed 1 run. Les Snyder picked up his 2nd save of the season.

Dick Ward had a big run-scoring triple for the Minutemen in the top of the fifth inning. With Boston leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he got a curveball from Johnny Maples, who is tied for 9th in the FA in innings pitched with 67.2, and swatted a triple to right. It was his 3rd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Minutemen ahead, 3-1.

"We put our best foot forward tonight," said a smiling Kelly.

The win gives the Minutemen a record of 13-27.
