Chicago Defeated By Knickerbockers, 4-3
The New York Knickerbockers topped the Chicago Traders, 4-3, at Union Field. New York catcher Rick Hotz was a spark plug for the offense. He went 1-4 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. With the win, New York pushed its record to 67-66.

Hotz had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 0-1 cutter from Skip Crawford, he banged a grand slam home run to right-center, giving the Knickerbockers a 4-0 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Hotz.

Hotz told the New York Chronicle: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."
