Slumping Minutemen Lose Again, 12-3
The Chicago Chiefs had no problem beating the Boston Minutemen, 12-3, at Minuteman Stadium. Ed Bloom, who finished 4th in the FA in batting average with .302 in 1952, led the onslaught. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Chicago. Chicago occupies 4th place in the Federal Association at 61-58.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Jim Gaiter to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Chiefs ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We hit the ball hard," said Chicago manager Dutch Becker. "Line drive after line drive."
