Chiefs Chop Down Gothams, 6-3
Chicago and New York got after it at Gotham Stadium.

Chicago Chiefs starter Dick Champ found his groove in his team's 6-3 win over the New York Gothams. Joe Lancaster closed the game out for Chicago, earning his 15th save.

Rod Shearer had a big solo home run for the Chiefs in the top of the fifth inning. With Chicago leading 4-3 and the bases empty, he got a fastball from Chuck Kleiman, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1956 draft, and swatted a home run to right. It was his 3rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Chiefs ahead, 5-3.

Shearer said afterward that "winning is what it's all about."

The win puts Chicago at 50-42 this season.
