Nationals 5, White Sox 1: Harry Thompson pitched a complete-game five-hitter and made a three-run first inning stand up for the Nationals in Chicago. Swede Risberg's error led to three unearned runs in the opening stanza while the White Sox could muster only a single score in the 4th, on Eddie Collins' single, stolen base and Chick Gandil's ground out. Val Picinich homered in the 7th and then doubled in the 9th as Washington cashed in some late insurance, but Thompson needed none of it as he set down seventeen of the final eighteen White Sox. [box]

Indians 4, Red Sox 3: Steve O'Neill's sacrifice fly scored Bill Wambsganss with the go-ahead run in the 6th inning, and Guy Morton made it stick over the final three frames as Cleveland rallied over the Red Sox. The Indians had struck first, scoring twice in the 1st on Larry Gardner's two-out, two-run single, but Boston hit Morton for three in 4th - Del Gainer and Everett Scott doubled in runs, and Stuffy McInnis lofted a a run-scoring fly. But in the 6th, Joe Wood led off against Babe Ruth with a single, was bunted to second, and then scored on Wambsganss' base hit. Doc Johnston singled him to third, and O'Neill skied one deep enough to left field to allow Wamby to sprint home for the lead. [box]
Tigers 7, Athletics 3: Donie Bush and Bobby Veach were at the center of the action as the Tigers scored five times in the final three innings to beat the A's to the wire in Detroit. With Philadelphia holding a 3-2 edge into the bottom of the 6th, Veach led of with a single against Scott Perry. With one out Ira Flagstead and Bob Jones singled as well, tying the game and, after Eddie Ainsmith drew a free pass, Bush singled in two more runs to put Detroit ahead 5-2. In the bottom of the 8th, the two men swapped roles with Bush leading off the inning (with a double this time) and Veach following three batters later with a single that drove in the second run of the inning. The late-game scoring made a winner of Bernie Boland (4-1) who pitched around nine hits and four walks to go the distance. George Burns rapped three hits for the Athletics. [box]
Yankees 8, Browns 6: After squandering an early lead, New York scored twice in the 10th inning to earn a road decision over St. Louis. The Yanks led 5-1 after five innings, behind Frank Baker's two singles, two RBI and stolen base, but Jack Quinn was doomed in the 6th by the transgressions of both he and his teammates. Two free passes and two bobbles by the usually dependable NY infield allowed the Browns to turn two singles into four runs that briefly brought the contest back to level terms. In the 7th, however, it was Baker again with a single that moved Wally Pipp into scoring position from which he would score on Bert Gallia's wild pitch, anr und that Jack Tobin answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the 8th. The fate of the game was handed over to the bullpens at this point, and all was quiet until Ping Bodie led off the 10th against Rasty Wright with a single and stolen base, and then scored on another wild pitch. This errant delivery put Muddy Rule at second, from where he then scored on Sammy Vick's base hit. Ernie Shore pitched a hitless bottom of the 10th to lock it up. Del Pratt joined Baker with three hits for NY while Tobin had four, and two RBI, for the home team. [box]
