Great Effort by Chiefs 1B Hopkins Not Enough in 9-8 Loss
Chicago first baseman Tim Hopkins had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Hopkins went 3-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice, even as New York beat the Chiefs, 9-8. The winner was Joe Brown, who threw 121 pitches over 7 innings. The right-hander was charged with 7 runs on 10 hits. The Federal Association-leading Gothams are 46-28.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Cecil LaBonte? The New York shortstop had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Gothams on top, 3-2. For the game, LaBonte had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We got the victory," said LaBonte. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
