Raucous Knickerbocker Stadium Crowd Propels Knickerbockers to 6-4 Victory; Series Tied at 1
The New York Knickerbockers relied on the hitting of first baseman Corky Leonard to get by the St. Louis Explorers, 6-4, in Game 2 of the World Series today. For the game, Leonard went 4 for 4 with 4 singles. The clubs are now tied, 1-1.

Gabe McDade aided the New York cause with a 2-run single in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the shortstop was 1-4 with a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" McDade told the New York Daily News. "You win just by scoring more runs."

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday, October 8th, 1943. Slated to start are Art Weir for New York and Dave Holt for St. Louis.
