Almost There: Chicago On Cusp of World Series Triumph After 3-2 Win
The Chicago Traders moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the visiting New York Knickerbockers at Union Field by a score of 3-2. Traders right-hander Joe Harris was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 8 innings of 7-hit ball. The win gives the Traders a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

Whitey Jackson's at-bat in the bottom of the third inning was a big one for Chicago. Coming to bat with one out, runners on 1st and 3rd and Chicago leading 2-0, the center fielder reached on an error by the 3B, driving in 1 run.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Chicago manager said.

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow at Union Field in Chicago. Slated to start are Bill Price for the New York Knickerbockers and Joe Shannon for the the Chicago Traders.
