Traders Even With Knickerbockers After Extra-Innings Win
The Chicago Traders went the distance and then some at Knickerbocker Stadium today to drag themselves back into a tie with the New York Knickerbockers.

It took 10 innings to settle Game 2 of the World Series, but Chicago eventually took the 5-4 win despite the performance of New York starting pitcher and player of the game Bill Price, who threw 6 innings of shutout ball. The clubs are now tied 1-1 in their best-of-7 series.

Doc Price's hit in the top of the tenth was a game-changer. With two out, he rapped a slider from Horace Payne for a run-scoring single. It put Chicago in front, 5-4.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Chicago manager said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday in Chicago. The scheduled starters for the game are Ray Underwood for New York and Aart MacDonald for Chicago.
