Skidding Chiefs Lose 6th Straight
The New York Gothams grabbed a win, 6-4, over the Chicago Chiefs at Gotham Stadium. New York catcher Tom Brizzolara was 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 singles, while scoring 3. Chuck Kleiman collected his 2nd save. The 6th-place Chiefs have lost 6 consecutive games.

Brizzolara had a game-changing triple in the bottom of the eighth. On a 1-2 fastball from Dutch Lane, he banged a run-scoring triple to center, giving the Gothams a 5-4 lead. It was the 7th triple of the year for Brizzolara.

New York manager Harry Davis called it "a darn good win."
