Home Loss Shrinks Terriers' Series Lead to 3-2
Facing elimination, the Chicago Traders were looking for a savior. For today, at least, Dave Keen delivered.

At Atlantic Avenue Grounds, the 25-year old pitched a game for the ages to fend off the Boston Terriers and help the Traders close their deficit in the World Series. Keen threw a 9-inning, complete-game shutout in the 3-0 Chicago win, striking out 3 and allowing 8 hits. The Traders how trail 2-3 in the best-of-7 series.

Keen, a native of East Syracuse, New York, was dealing all game. He kept Boston hitters off-balance, while giving the Traders 9 quality innings. Keen threw 142 pitches, allowing 8 hits and striking out 3.

"Things broke our way today and that's great," Traders manager Winston Tinker said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."

Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday, October 22nd, 1953 at Union Field. Slated to start are Ben McHargue for Boston and Ken Amison for Chicago.
