Knickerbockers Squeeze By Philadelphia, 8-7
The New York Knickerbockers defeated the Philadelphia Quakers, 8-7, in 16 innings. Bobby Vollbrecht led the way, going 1-for-1 for New York. The victory gives New York a record of 71-59.

The decisive blow was delivered by Steve Wright in the bottom of the 16th when he hit a solo home run off three-time All-Star Bill Kaiser to win the game for New York. The home crowd went nuts.

In postgame comments, Wright said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."
