The Knickerbockers ran into trouble in the bottom of the first. The score was 1-0, New York, with one out. St. Louis, with the bases loaded, had Ken Osterhage at the plate. With a base hit, he could have changed the complexion of the game. Instead, he hit into a double play and the Knickerbockers went on to win.
