Almost There: New York On Cusp of World Series Triumph After 6-1 Win
The New York Knickerbockers moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the St. Louis Explorers on the road at Castle Point Field by a score of 6-1. Knickerbockers right-hander Martin Butt was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 9 innings of 3-hit ball. The win gives the Knickerbockers a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

Butt was effective against the Explorers, seldom allowing a hard-hit ball. The right-hander limited St. Louis to just 1 run on 3 hits over 9 innings.

"We lost," St. Louis manager said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."

Game 5 is scheduled for tomorrow at Castle Point Field. Slated to start are Edgar Blaney for the New York Knickerbockers and Brock Rutherford for the the St. Louis Explorers.
