Terrigan, New York Start World Series Strong with Home Win
If the Chicago Traders were expecting the pressure of the playoffs to get to Pat Terrigan, they underestimated the old man.

The New York Knickerbockers got a strong start from the 39-year-old left-hander, who earned player of the game honors today. Terrigan threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball as New York won the contest 5-3 at Knickerbocker Stadium to take the lead in their best-of-7 series with the Traders. The Knickerbockers now lead 1-0.

New York grabbed control in the bottom of the sixth. With two out and a runner on 2nd, Tony Martin delivered a run-scoring double, to make it 4-3 in favor of the Knickerbockers.

"Feels good to get the job done," Terrigan said after the game.

Game 2 is set to be played tomorrow in New York. Slated to start are Charlie Cruickshank for the Chicago Traders and Jerry Sneed for the the New York Knickerbockers.
