League Championship Series Game 1 Victory for Shannon and Chicago
The Chicago Traders started the League Championship Series in style today, downing the visiting Philadelphia Quakers at Union Field by a score of 9-2 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Traders right-hander Joe Shannon was named player of the game after he threw 9 innings allowing 2 runs.

Hank Farley, who won the Most Valuable Player Award in 1943, chipped in for Chicago with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"They say the first rule of the playoffs is to win the home games," Shannon said afterward. "It feels nice, but it is kind of what we were supposed to do."

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow at Union Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Jackie Gregory for Philadelphia and Ken Amison for Chicago.
