Traders, Knickerbockers Play 10 to Settle Game 1, Chicago Now Leads Series 1-0
When the games really matter, the Chicago Traders put on their best show, beating the New York Knickerbockers by a final score of 4-1 today. Aart MacDonald earned player of the game honors, as he threw 10 innings allowing 1 run. Chicago now leads New York 1-0 in the best-of-7 affair.

Whitey Jackson made it 2-1, Chicago, in the top of the tenth when he reached on an error by the C, driving in 1 run. It was a big at-bat in the Traders win.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Chicago manager told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is scheduled for tomorrow. Slated to start are Eddie Germany for the Chicago Traders and Jerry Sneed for the the New York Knickerbockers.
