Knickerbockers Drop Bobcats, 7-6, with Late Score
New York Knickerbockers starter Vern Gould pitched a strong game against the Cleveland Bobcats at Knickerbocker Stadium, leading the Knickerbockers to victory, 7-6. The win lifted the New York record to 26-23.

Dave Lester was the walk-off hero for New York. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Knickerbockers second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Lester called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts."
