Road Win Lifts New York to 3-2 Lead in World Series
The New York Knickerbockers went into extra innings against the Chicago Traders but ultimately moved to within one game of the Round 2 today. The Knickerbockers downed the Traders at Union Field by a score of 3-2. New York right-hander Red Risher was named player of the game after a solid outing in which he threw 8 innings allowing 2 runs. The win gives the Knickerbockers a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

New York relied on the hitting of Sal Davis to pick up the win. The third baseman ripped a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 3-2. For the game, Davis had 1 triple and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Both teams played hard," said New York manager .

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10th, 1944 at Knickerbocker Stadium. The scheduled starters for the game are Charlie Cruickshank for the Chicago Traders and Bill Price for the the New York Knickerbockers.
