Indians 4, Athletics 3: Tris Speaker rapped a single with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning to finish off a second extra-inning comeback for Cleveland against Philadelphia. The A's had taken a early lead in the contest when Whitey Witt singled home Cy Perkins in the 3rd and the game had remained without further event all the way until the final inning, when Braggo Roth led off against Guy Morton with a triple and Tillie Walker followed him with a two-base hit that made the score 2-0. Rollie Naylor had been pitching without a black mark for the Athletics for the entire afternoon, but almost immediately got into hot water in the bottom of the 9th - with one out, Bill Wambsganss and Doc Johnston singled and then Steve O'Neill doubled to cut the PHI lead in half. Naylor was lifted for relief ace Walt Kinney, but he walked PH Joe Harris to load the bases with Indians. Jack Graney hit a grass-cutter up the middle which Joe Dugan fielded but could only flip to second for the force as Johnston crossed the plate with the tying run. Kinney retired Ray Chapman, but the damage has been done and it was on to extra frames. When Braggo Roth (single, triple, homer) hit one for four bases to start the 11th, the A's had the lead once again and Cleveland would be forced to chase. In the bottom half, Wambsganss singled to lead things off, and was sacrificed to second by Johnston; after O'Neill popped out, the sharp-hitting George Uhle (brought on to relieve Morton in the 10th) delivered a game-tying single. The the A's, as has often been the case so far this season, got sloppy - a passed ball by Cy Perkins and an error by Joe Dugan moved the potential winning run to third base. After Chapman walked to load the bases once again, Speaker got his first hit of the game to send Uhle across to win the game. Dugan had three hits, and Chapman and O'Neill two each. [box]
Nationals 4, Browns 2: Walter Johnson was in fine form, and St. Louis paid dearly for two Wally Gerber errors, as Washington outlasted the Browns. With the Nationals in front 2-0 thanks to 1st-inning RBI from Sam Rice and Mike Menosky, Gerber mishandled the first two batted balls of the 2nd and Joe Judge made him pay with a two-run single that established a 4-0 WAS lead. The Browns would try to fight back, getting one in the 6th when Herman Bronkie tripled and scored on Jack Tobin's single and another in the 9th when Tobin and George Sisler set the table for a run-scoring groundout by Baby Doll Jacobson. But Johnson (6-3) whiffed Ray Demmitt for the final out - Barney only struck out two men on the afternoon, but they both came in the last two innings and he did not issue a single base on balls. Bert Gallia (4-3) was a tough-luck loser for the Browns, despite Tobin's three hits. [box]
