Chiefs Get Clutch Win Versus New York
The Chicago Chiefs defeated the New York Gothams, 5-4, in Federal Association action at Whitney Park. Chicago pitcher Vern Osborne had a standout performance. Chicago has 3 straight wins, New York 4 straight losses.

Joe Flanagan was the walk-off hero for Chicago. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Chiefs third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This game was intense," Flanagan said, postgame.
