Cincinnati Gets 8-3 Win
The Cincinnati Packers beat the New York Knickerbockers, 8-3, at Knickerbocker Stadium. Cincinnati left fielder Johnny Murray led the way. He went 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Jackie Richardson got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed 3 runs on 9 hits in 9 innings. Cincinnati goes to 2-1.

Stan Timmons was 1 for 3 with a walk for Cincinnati. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Sid Shafer. It was his 3rd RBI of the season.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Timmons.
