Chiefs Beat Gothams, 5-4, at Gotham Stadium
The umbrellas came out during the Chicago-New York contest at Gotham Stadium.

The Chicago Chiefs cut down the New York Gothams by the score of 5-4, with the largest share of the credit going to center fielder Frank Reece. Reece went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Chiefs. Joe Lancaster finished the game for Chicago and earned his 14th save.

With Chicago leading 4-3 in the top of the seventh, Reece hit a run-scoring single off New York hurler Les Freedman. It was the 46th hit of the season for Reece and put his team ahead, 5-3.

"Confidence breeds confidence, Chicago manager Dutch Becker said, "and confidence breeds success."

With the win, the Chiefs have a record of 48-42.
