Chiefs Get Thrilling 4-3 Win
Rankin Ziegler knocked in 3 runs to help Chicago beat Detroit, 4-3. The New York native tallied 3 singles and 1 home run. Norm Sutherland got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. The win puts Chicago at 4-0.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 13th. With one out, Ziegler hit a cutter from Bud Dixon for a run-scoring single. The Chiefs, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"We're playing like we're capable of," said Chicago manager Ollie Howard.
