Knickerbockers Beat Traders, 5-2, to Start DR
The New York Knickerbockers started the Divisional Round in style, winning on the road against the Chicago Traders at Union Field by a score of 5-2 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Knickerbockers left fielder Lou Middleton excelled. He was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

Middleton had an important at-bat with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the top of the eighth, when he hit a 2-run double. The Knickerbockers went on to win.

New York manager William Bowen called it "a darn good win."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Union Field in Chicago.
