Traders Win, 9-2, Versus New York
The Chicago Traders knocked off the New York Knickerbockers, 9-2, in National Baseball League action at Union Field. Chicago pitcher and Missouri City, Texas, native Bobby Peters had an outstanding performance. The loss makes New York 16-13.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Ken Mays came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing New York pitcher Wayne Houston, he hit a first pitch slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Chicago on top, 2-1.

"I just tried to focus on getting that first guy out every inning," said Peters.
