Hancock Leads Charge, New York Blasts Black Cats
The New York Black Kings pinned a convincing loss on the Cleveland Black Cats, 13-3, at Kings Ballpark. Jim Hancock was a main factor in the win. He went 4-4 with 4 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for New York. With the win, the Black Kings hiked their record to 48-29.

Wendell McCurrine had a big bases-clearing triple for the Black Kings in the bottom of the third inning. With New York leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from 14-year veteran Alphonso Harris and swatted a triple to right-center. It was his 9th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Black Kings ahead, 4-0.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Hancock told the New York News. "And padding the New York win column."
