Millers Flatten Chiefs, 9-4
The Minneapolis Millers beat the Chicago Chiefs by a score of 9-4. Minneapolis center fielder Bill Powell deserved the lion's share of the credit. Powell went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Millers. The loss drops the Chiefs to 11-8.

Carl Kilkenny had a big 2-run home run for the Millers in the top of the third inning. With Minneapolis leading 3-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a slider from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Walt Jackson and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Millers on top, 5-1.

"Bill was ready to go. Big day for him," said Minneapolis manager Bill Bryan.
