1919 AL - Games of Sunday, 1 June

White Sox 12, Indians 2: Ray Schalk had two hits, two walks, drove in two runs and scored three and Dickey Kerr allowed no earned runs over nine innings as Chicago thumped Cleveland. This affair was over fairly quickly, as the White Sox scored TEN runs in the third inning on only five hits (although these included two triples and a double, plus two errors and three walks; Buck Weaver had two of those hits); from there on, it was smooth sailing for Kerr, who allowed seven hits and walked two.Nemo Leibold and Weaver had three hits apiece from the top two spots of the Chicago batting order.  [box]

Tigers 6, Browns 3: Ty Cobb had a double and two singles, and Ralph Young tripled home the go-ahead runs in the 6th inning as the Tigers beat St. Louis in front of their home cranks. Tad Sloan's two-run single had brought the Browns from behind to forge a 3-3 tie, but Bob Jones and Eddie Ainsmith started the bottom half with singles before, with two outs, Young sent a ball to the fence in right-center that scored both men. Dutch Leonard took it upon himself to bar the door, allowing only one hit over the final three innings to earn his first win of the season. Ainsmith and Jack Tobin of the Browns had three hits each. [box]

Nationals 4, Yankees 2: Walter Johnson pitched a four-hitter and four Nationals had two hits to lead Washington over New York at Griffith Stadium. Johnson and Allen Russell were both twirling well through six innings, with the score tied at two, before Washington grabbed the edge in the bottom of the 6th. Joe Judge walked to start the inning, moved to second on a passed ball and to third on Eddie Foster's infield hit. Judge scored on Menosky's ground out, then Sam Rice tripled home Foster before he himself was cut down at the plate on Buzz Murphy's fly ball. The Big Train retired the final seven men, two by strikeout, to notch his fifth win. Frank Baker hit his 6th homer of the season for New York. [box]
