The St. Louis Pioneers and Chicago Chiefs delighted fans at Whitney Park.

The Chicago Chiefs picked up a win at Whitney Park, knocking off the St. Louis Pioneers, 3-1. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Dick Champ. He played a key role in the triumph. The winning pitcher was Champ, now 11-9. He tossed 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 5. Fred Moore earned the save, his 8th, for the Chiefs.

With Chicago leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Champ hit a run-scoring single off St. Louis hurler Steve Madden. It was the 19th hit of the season for Champ and put his team ahead, 2-0.

"I liked his command," said Chicago manager Dutch Becker. "Dick was throwing strikes."

The Chiefs improved their record to 68-81 by beating St. Louis.
