Eagles Lose at Home, 2-1
New York right-hander Jack Forbes pitched his team to victory over the Washington Eagles at Monument Field. The final score was 2-1. In 5.2 innings, Forbes surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. The Knickerbockers, at 41-43, sit in third place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

New York used a clutch at-bat from Bob White to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Knickerbockers ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Thought I threw pretty well and overall I felt good," said Forbes.
