World Series to Knickerbockers
The New York Knickerbockers are champions, today and forever. The Knickerbockers topped the Chicago Traders 3-2 at Union Field today to claim the World Series crown.

"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and first baseman Corky Leonard after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."

The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.

"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said New York manager . "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."

The Knickerbockers took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the National Baseball League Eastern Division and a 101-57 record.
