New York Win Evens Series at 3
Chicago catcher Billy Hall pounded New York Empires pitchers at Union Field, but it was not enough to keep the Traders from falling, 7-4 in Game 6 of the World Series. Hall was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 and was named player of the game for his efforts, even as he saw the Traders slip into a 3-3 tie in the best-of-7 series.

Gus Besson's hit in the top of the ninth was a game-changer. With no one out, he rapped a cutter from Joe O'Connell for a run-scoring single. It put New York in front, 5-4.

"I feel honored to be a part of this team," said Besson.

Game 7 is set to be played tomorrow at Union Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Jo-Jo Lavelle for New York and Bunny Bryant for Chicago.
