Detroit Defeated By Chiefs, 11-5
The Chicago Chiefs topped the Detroit Dynamos by a score of 11-5. Leading the way was second baseman Ed Bloom. Bloom was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Chiefs. The winning pitcher was 20-year old right-handed pitcher John Thomas. He tossed 138 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 5 runs on 13 hits. The win puts Chicago at 81-74 this season.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Bob Starr to pick up the win. The center fielder ripped a bases-clearing triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Chiefs on top, 8-4. For the game, Starr had 1 triple and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Bloom.
