Boston
(AL) (H) 12 St. Louis (AL) 1
The
Red Sox scored five runs in the first, all runs scoring after there were two
outs, and then they piled it on from there, making a winner of Smoky Joe
Wood (22-11, 2.24). Left fielder Duffy Lewis
went 3-for-4 with three RBI's and second baseman Jack Lewis
(no relation) went 3-for-5 with four RBI's to spark the Boston offense.
Chicago
(AL) 5 New York (AL) (H) 3
Fourth-place New York still has their eye on third place and Chicago is content to
stay in third place all by themselves. Today the White Sox limited the
Highlanders to only four hits and got the tough win. The big hit was a
pinch-hit triple in the top of the ninth by reliever Frank Lange
to drive in a needed insurance run, which came in handy when Lange had trouble
getting out of the inning in the bottom of the ninth.
Philadelphia
(AL) (H) 8 Detroit 5
The
A's scored three times in the first and then slowly added on from there,
building up enough of a lead they could easily withstand a late Tigers rally. Cy Morgan
(18-7, 3.28) got the win and right fielder Danny
Murphy had a 4-for-4 day with three RBI's to lead the offense.
Cleveland
6 Washington (H) 0
Cleveland
was on top 6-0 after the fourth and that was all the scoring in this one as Fred
Blanding (11-9, 4.48) blanked the Senators. Third baseman Terry
Turner drove home three runs for the Naps to help them build that early
lead.
Chicago
(NL) (H) 4 Boston (NL) 2
A
two-out three-run triple in the bottom of the eighth by third baseman Jim Doyle
gave Chicago their first lead of the day and Lew Richie
(16-10, 2.46) held on to get the win over Cy Young
(3.17).
 |
| Doc Crandall |
The Giants scored four runs in the fourth and were well on their way to an easy win when the Reds came alive with three runs in the bottom of the ninth to make it close. Doc Crandall (12-8, 3.44) induced a game-ending double play to secure the win for the visitors.
Brooklyn
3 Pittsburgh (H) 0
Nap Rucker
(20-7, 2.12) had the good stuff today as he held the powerful Pirates to only
three hits and went all the way for the shutout victory.

tight game was decided when center fielder Harry
Wolter singled to lead off the bottom of the tenth, stole second, advanced
to third on an infield out, and then scored the game-winner on a single off the
bat of shortstop Roy
Hartzell. Jack Quinn
(9-9, 3.68) got the win in relief.
Detroit
5 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 3
Ed Willett
(17-6, 3.81) went all the way to get the win over Jack Coombs
(30-7, 2.47) and the A's. Left fielder Delos Drake
went 4-for-4, scored a run, and drove in two runs to spark the Tigers offense.
Cleveland
13 Washington (H) 10
The
Senators scored two runs in each of the first four innings to build an early
8-4 lead but the Naps roared back to tie the score at 8-8 after the seventh.
Cleveland finally took a lead when they scored five runs in the top of the
ninth, thanks to multiple errors by the Washington defense. Then the Cleveland
defense collapsed in the bottom half of the inning, but Gene Krapp
(8-15, 3.44) induced a game-ending double play to put both teams out of their
misery.
Chicago
(NL) (H) 13 Boston (NL) 3 (GM 1)
The
Cubs pounded a series of Boston pitchers for the runaway Game One win, with Ed Reulbach
(12-13, 2.86) getting the win. Dave Shean,
getting a start at shortstop, went 3-for-4 with two walks and three RBI's to
lead the offense.
Boston
(NL) 8 Chicago (NL) (H) 4 (11) GM 2)
The
Cubs wish they could have saved some of their excess runs from Game One, but
Boston responded with a strong game, scoring four runs in the top of the
eleventh to secure the win. Ed Donnelly
(1-1, 2.25) went all the way for the extra-inning win.
Pittsburgh
(H) 4 Brooklyn 3
Right
fielder Owen
"Chief" Wilson hit a two-run homerun in the bottom of the eighth to
give the Pirates a 3-1 lead, but the Dodgers came back to tie the score at 3-3
in the top of the ninth. The lineup rolled back around and Wilson then singled
home the game-winner in the bottom of the ninth.

Neither
team had a hit through the first five innings but then the White Sox scratched
out two runs in the top of the sixth to take the lead. Boston responded when
first baseman Hugh
Bradley hit his first major league homerun and suddenly Boston was back on
top by a score of 3-2. In the eighth right fielder Harry
Hooper added a three-run homerun and Ray Collins
(11-10, 2.99) picked up the easy win.
 |
| George Kahler |
The Naps led 7-0 after the fourth and went on to an easy win against the powerful A's. George Kahler (7-6, 3.66) scattered eight hits and the Philadelphia offense never materialized in this game. Several A's regulars rested on the bench as they have already clinched the AL pennant.
Detroit
9 Washington (H) 5
With
the score tied at 3-3 after the fifth, the Tigers' offense came alive, and Detroit
ran away with the victory from there. Ty Cobb
went 3-for-4 (.400) with two runs scored, four RBI's, and a homerun to lead the
offense.
Chicago

Rube
Marquard (19-9, 1.92) only allowed two hits on the day but the second hit
was a two-home homerun by Cubs left fielder Jimmy
Sheckard in the bottom of the eighth. Lew Richie

scoreboard for the win.
Boston
(NL) 10 Cincinnati (H) 5
The

then they ran away with it, allowing Hub Perdue

St.
Louis (NL) (H) 6 Brooklyn 0
The
Cardinals recently acquired Joe Willis
(1-1, 0.00) from the crosstown Browns and Willis threw a seven-hit shutout
versus the struggling Dodgers. Second baseman Miller

Buck
O'Brien (3-1, 1.25) had only given up two runs in his first three starts
but gave up three runs in the first inning today and Frank Lange
(12-8, 4.20) had what he needed to get the win. A two-run single by center
fielder Ping
Bodie was the big hit in that three-run first.
St.
Louis (AL) 3 New York (AL) (H) 1
Hard-luck
pitcher Earl
Hamilton (4-14, 6.41) had the good stuff today as he limited the
Highlanders to only six hits and only lost his shutout on a four-base error in
the bottom of the ninth. Hamilton also had the big hit, a two-run single in the
top of the ninth to give himself a little cushion.
Cleveland

A
strong pitching performance from Gene Krapp

runs.
New
York (NL) 5 Chicago (NL) (H) 3 (12)
The
Giants' M.O. of getting a lead and then giving it right back continued but this
time they held on to a 2-2 score and the game went into extra innings. Christy
Mathewson (28-11, 2.59) gave up a lead-off triple in the eleventh inning
but got out of it, and then in the twelfth Red Murray
hit a two-out liner to left field that Jimmy Sheckard
misplayed and allowed three runs to score. Again, the Cubs tried to come back but it was too much to overcome this time.
Pittsburgh
(H) 2 Philadelphia (NL) 1
The
Phillies scored a run in the first but that was all Marty
O'Toole (3-1, 2.93) would give up today as the Pirates finally broke
through with two runs in the sixth to take the lead. Earl Moore
(8-23, 4.74) took the loss.
St.
Louis (NL) (H) 6 Brooklyn 3
The
Cardinals scored five times in the bottom of the sixth, thanks to two Brooklyn

Washington (H) 5 Detroit 4
The
Senators scored three times in the bottom of the sixth to take a 5-1 lead, as
two Detroit errors proved to be disastrous for the visitors. Washington
returned the favor in the top of the seventh two with errors of their own to
let the Tigers back into the game, but Tom Hughes

held off the Detroit attack the rest of the way to get the win.

Ed Hawk
(1-3, 6.59), another Browns late-season call-up, didn't give up a run until two
outs in the ninth inning to get the win over Russ Ford

Highlanders' errors really hurt.
Cleveland
5 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 3 (GM 1)
The
A's scored single runs in each of the first three innings but Fred
Blanding (12-9, 4.49) and George
Kahler shut them down after that, Cleveland coming from behind for the Game
One win.
Philadelphia

Connie Mack
took advantage of having clinched the AL already and knowing the team had an
off-day tomorrow, so he rested several of his starters today. The A's still
scored seven runs in the second inning to take an 8-2 lead, but by the end of
the top of the fifth Cleveland had clawed their way back to an 8-7 deficit. The
A's poured it on from there, with third baseman Frank
"Home Run" Baker leading the way by going 4-for-6 with two runs
scored, three RBI's (147), and a triple.

Shortstop
Art
Fletcher hit a two-run homerun in the top of the fourth to give the Giants

Boston

The
Rustlers scored multiple runs in each of the first four innings to build a 12-0
