York Blasts Knickerbockers, Packers Take Game 1, 6-3
The Cincinnati Packers started the League Championship Series in style today, winning on the road against the New York Knickerbockers at Knickerbocker Stadium by a score of 6-3 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Packers center fielder Witness York excelled. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

The Packers benefited from a costly error in the top of the fourth. With Dick Lyon at bat and Cincinnati leading 3-2, the New York miscue allowed Cincinnati to plate 1 and take the lead, 4-2.

"I really like what we did out there today," Lyon said after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Knickerbocker Stadium in New York.
