Knickerbockers KO Traders
It was all about winning for the New York Knickerbockers -- and win they did.

There was nothing fancy in how they went about it, players said, they just prepared mentally and physically and then went out and played baseball.

"We did the little things right and we did the big things right," said second baseman Gene Cummings, who was named series MVP. "Now we're the league champions."

New York defeated the Chicago Traders by a score of 10-5 at Knickerbocker Stadium to take the series 4-2.

"Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you make your own luck," said New York manager . "We got lucky a few times, but mostly we did the right things by being prepared for each game and playing the game the way it's meant to be played."
