Eagles Handle New York, Snag 10-7 Win
The Washington Eagles defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 10-7, at Knickerbocker Stadium. Larry Wools, who is tied for 4th in the NBL in doubles with 6, was a standout performer for Washington. His 4 hits included 3 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 3 runs he scored and 2 he knocked in. The loss drops New York to 9-10.

Washington shortstop Gary Long contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the second. With two down, he hit a splitter to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 24th hit of the season and put the Eagles ahead, 6-4.

Wools told a Washington Gazette reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
