Philadelphia Breaks Through for First Win in World Series; Now Trails 2-1
The Philadelphia Quakers have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading St. Louis Explorers, winning 5-3 at Penn's Landing Park today. Quakers right-hander Joshua Crowder was named player of the game after he threw 8 innings of 6-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Quakers to 2-1 in the best-of-7 World Series.

The game hit a turning point in the bottom of the second inning, when the Quakers were trailing 1-0. Frosty Young delivered a two-out bases-clearing double for Philadelphia, catapulting his team into the lead.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Philadelphia manager said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow at Penn's Landing Park. The scheduled starters for the game are Edgar Bath for the St. Louis Explorers and Clay Easton for the the Philadelphia Quakers.
