Red Sox 2, Nationals 1: Babe Ruth's first home run of the year provided a late-game turnabout, and all of the runs that Sad Sam Jones needed to polish off a four-hit gem against the Washingtons at Griffith Stadium. The home side had taken the lead in the 4th when Sam Rice led off with a single, stole second, and scored on Val Picinich's deep fly ball to center field. The game stayed in that state until the top of the 8th when Jim Shaw plunked Jack Barry to start the stanza and, one out later, Ruth (.500/.600/1.125 in the season's first three games) drove the ball into the right-field stands. Jones retired the final thirteen Nats in order, while Shaw was a tough-luck complete-game loser. [box]

White Sox 4, Tigers 3: Lefty Williams scattered nine hits and went the distance, and some of Chicago's less-feared bats took the stage to propel the South Siders past Detroit. Williams and George Dauss were "Hooked" up in a pitcher's duel through five, with Detroit leading 2-1 on the strength of Ira Flagstead's second circuit-clout in as many days. But in the 6th, Ray Schalk delivered an RBI double and Nemo Leibold a two-out, two-run single that gave Chicago a 4-2 lead and Williams brought it home from there despite a brief moment of suspense when Harry Heilmann homered in the botttom of the 9th.
