Washington Decked, 6-1, by Knickerbockers
The New York Knickerbockers picked up a win at Knickerbocker Stadium, topping the Washington Eagles, 6-1. On the mound for New York was left-hander Ron Haney. He played a principal role in the triumph. Haney went the distance for New York. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. New York has 3 straight wins, Washington 7 straight losses.

Bob Underwood had a big 2-run home run for the Knickerbockers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With New York leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a curveball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Bruce Grossman and punished it. The result was his 19th home run of the season, which put the Knickerbockers on top, 4-1.

"We take it day by day here," said Haney, "and today was a good one for us."
