Blaney Handcuffs Explorers, Knickerbockers Seize 2-0 Advantage in World Series
The New York Knickerbockers got an exceptional performance from starter Edgar Blaney, who silenced the St. Louis offense en route to a 6-0 shutout win in Game 2 of the World Series today. The Explorers could never get a bead on the right-handed Blaney, who threw 9 innings of shutout ball to earn player of the game honors. The Knickerbockers now hold a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-7 series.

Blaney delivered a quality start for New York. The 6' 3" right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 9 innings of work.

Blaney told a New York Chronicle reporter that he was "more than satisfied" with the win.

The next game is set to be played Friday, October 10th, 1924 at Knickerbocker Stadium. The scheduled starters for the game are Hampton Bunker for St. Louis and Jerome Wheelock for New York.
