Keystones Get Clutch Win Versus Chicago
The Philadelphia Keystones cut down the Chicago Chiefs by the score of 8-7, with the largest share of the credit going to catcher Dick Christian. Christian went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Keystones. Philadelphia reliever Charlie Rushing picked up the win to move to 9-4. Dutch Lane suffered the loss. Philadelphia has won 5 straight games.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Chiefs allowed the Keystones to score the winning run.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Dynes said in his postgame press conference.
