It
was the Naps that took a 4-1 lead at the end of the seventh but then the Browns
suddenly came alive, scoring five times in the eighth and then adding two more
in the ninth for insurance. A three-run double by third baseman Jimmy Austin was the big hit in the eighth, and Jack Powell (3-11, 4.86) held on for the win.

game and got the victory.

tough win. A four-run fourth was the difference for the Highlanders as catcher Bob Williams two-run double was the big hit.

ahead to stay.

Game One win.
Boston
(AL) (H) 11 Washington 6 (GM 2)

Boston offense was able to kick it into gear and they pounded a series of
Washington pitchers for seventeen hits. Shortstop Steve Yerkes hit two doubles and drove in four
runs and second baseman Larry Gardner had a 4-for-5 day and scored four
runs to doubly spark the Red Sox offense.

Philadelphia
(AL) 13 New York (AL) (H) 4 (GM 1)
Fresh
off their doubleheader sweep over first-place Philadelphia the Highlanders were
feeling their oats, especially after they took a 4-0 lead after the third.
However, the A's quickly righted themselves with a six-run fourth and went on
to win Game One quite easily. First baseman Stuffy McInnis hit a three-run homerun to get the
A's offense started as part of his 4-for-6 day.
Note:
BBR shows Jack Lapp starting at catcher for Philadelphia
while ATMgr has Ira Thomas.
New

King Brockett (2-4, 5.83) kept the A's batters in
check as he went all the way for a four-hit victory in Game Two. Center fielder

inning and that was all the support that Brockett needed today.
Brooklyn
(H) 11 Boston (NL) 6 (GM 1)

Dodgers jumped off to a quick lead with a five-run first and then added on with
a four-run fourth. Elmer Knetzer (2-3, 4.47) got the win but Nap Rucker came in to throw the last two innings

with some clutch hitting.
Brooklyn
(H) 5 Boston (NL) 4 (GM 2)

thirteen hits on the day but they made them all count in their fourteen-run
outburst.
St.
Louis (NL) 8 Pittsburgh (H) 3 (GM 2)
