League Championship Series Game 1 Victory for Hinton and New York
The New York Knickerbockers started the League Championship Series in style today, downing the visiting Chicago Traders at Knickerbocker Stadium by a score of 5-3 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Knickerbockers right-hander Herb Hinton threw 9 innings allowing 3 runs.

Chesterfield, South Carolina-born Gary Harmon came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the seventh, with runners on 1st and 2nd and the Knickerbockers trailing 3-2, he hit a 2-run double to right to put New York on top.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Hinton.

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow in New York. The scheduled starters for the game are Eduardo Rodriguez for Chicago and John Ambrose for New York.
