Chi-town Beats San Francisco, 8-4
The Chi-town Coalition topped the San Francisco Meatballs, 8-4, in Canis League action at 420 Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Chi-town third baseman Jim L Hickman. The 5th-place Coalition improved to 27-24.

Hickman had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 2-0 slider from Dick Ellsworth, he banged a grand slam home run to right, giving the Coalition a 8-4 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for Hickman.

"No time for posing," said Hickman. "The next game will be here before you know it."
