Knickerbockers Clip Traders 3-2 in World Series Contest
The New York Knickerbockers topped the Chicago Traders by the score of 3-2 and moved into a 1-1 tie in the World Series today. The largest share of the credit went to player of the game and New York starter Jerry Sneed, who threw 7 innings of 5-hit ball in the win.

Corky Leonard, who won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1944, aided the New York cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the third. For the game, the first baseman was 1 for 4.

"I like our mindset right now," said New York manager .

The next game is set to be played Friday at Union Field in Chicago. The scheduled starters for the game are Alex McKinney for New York and Charlie Cruickshank for Chicago.
