Warren, Traders Sink Bluebirds Again in Game 2
Riding the 2-hit performance of left fielder Ken Warren, the Chicago Traders stopped the visiting Brooklyn Bluebirds, 5-3, in Game 2 of the League Championship Series today. Warren was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 3 runs for the Traders, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 0.

The Traders took a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning. Facing Brooklyn hurler Gene Lance with one out, Warren hit a solo home run.

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

Game 3 is set to be played Friday, October 9th, 1953 at Flatbush Park. The scheduled starters for the game are Joe Shannon for Chicago and Jock Casey for Brooklyn.
