Knickerbockers Clip Explorers 5-4 in World Series Contest
In a crucial game, the New York Knickerbockers put on their best show, beating the St. Louis Explorers by a final score of 5-4 today. Antony Pruitt earned player of the game honors, as he went 4 for 5 with 4 singles, while adding 3 RBI. New York and St. Louis are now tied at 3 wins apiece in the best-of-7 affair.

Had Ed Wall not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Wall hit a bases-clearing double. That made the score 5-2, in favor of the Knickerbockers.

"I'm not sweating it," St. Louis manager told reporters after the loss. "We'll recover. They say it's all about winning games, but I would put up with a heck of a lot of losses as long as we hoist that trophy at the end of the year."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Knickerbocker Stadium in New York. Slated to start are Edgar Bath for St. Louis and Will Anderson for New York.
