Yankees 7, Athletics 3: Duffy Lewis broke open a tie game with a three-run 6th-inning home run, and the Yanks added three more in the 7th to run clear of the A's at the Polo Grounds. Up to that point, Jack Quinn and Scott Perry had been pitching effectively but it all came unglued for Perry after he had retired the first two men in the 6th; Frank Baker singled, as did Ping Bodie, and that brought the NY right-fielder to the plate to knock the ball into the crowd for the first time this season. This appeared to unsettle Perry, as he then allowed four hits and a walk the following inning before righting himself to finish the contest. Quinn allowed only five hits, with the only runner reaching second base before a little late trouble in the 9th coming on Braggo Roth's 4th-inning homer. Roger Peckinpaugh contributed three hits for the Gothams. [box]

Red Sox 4, Nationals 2: After being throttled for eight innings by Walter Johnson - the only blemish being The Babe's second homer is as many days - the Red Sox erupted for five hits and three runs in the top of the 9th to steal a victory out from under the noses of the Nationals. Johnson had allowed only three hits and two walks through the first eight, but Boston started the final frame with three straight singles to tie the game at two, and two more after one was out which pushed the Olde Towne Team in front. The insurance knock came from Sox hurler Carl Mays, who then put Washington to bed quietly in the home half to earn the complete-game win. Ruth reached base all four times he batted (single, homer, two walks) as did Mike Menosky of the Nats (three singles and a double). [box]
