Knickerbockers Clip Bluebirds 7-6 in World Series Contest
The New York Knickerbockers and the Brooklyn Bluebirds will take the World's Championship Series to a decisive 9th game. In a must-win situation today, the Knickerbockers beat the Bluebirds 7-6 at Washington Square Park to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. New York right-hander Richmond Pratt was named player of the game in the win after he threw 9 innings allowing 6 runs.

Tied up with the Bluebirds in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Knickerbockers got a boost from third baseman Mike O'Sullivan. With the bases loaded, O'Sullivan saw a 1-1 curveball from Monroe Black and hit a bases-clearing double to break the stalemate and put New York on top, 5-2.

"That's the key at this level, throwing strike one," said Pratt. "Successful pitchers do it."

The next game is scheduled for Sunday in Brooklyn. Slated to start are Sam Coburn for the New York Knickerbockers and Leander McNaughton for the the Brooklyn Bluebirds.
