Tigers 3, Red Sox 2: Donie Bush had three hits and knocked in the go-ahead run twice as Detroit edged Boston in the series opener at Fenway. Bush singled home Eddie Ainsmith with two outs in the 5th to open the scoring, and did it again in the 8th to break a 1-1 tie and put the Tigers ahead to stay. Ty Cobb sent Bush home withe a triple two batters later, and that insurance score proved to be the difference as Boston got one run in the last of the 9th off of Dutch Leonard; Stuffy McInnis’ double play ball short-circuited the rally, however, and Leonard (2-0) bested Babe Ruth (1-3) in a fine pitching duel. Amos Strunk singled twice for the Sox. [box]

Yankees 5, White Sox 0: The high-flying White Sox offense was no match for Ernie Shore today, as the New York hurler held them to just three hits in a whitewash at the Polo Grounds. Meanwhile, the Yankee hitters were having unusually good success against Chicago ace Eddie Cicotte (7-2), scoring four times in the first three stanzas on their way to thirteen hits. Shore (1-1) was never put under the slightest pressure, and waltzed home by retiring the final nine Chicagos, including seven straight ground ball outs. Duffy Lewis smacked three hits for the Yanks and Ping Bodie knocked home a pair of runs. [box]
Athletics 7, Indians 3: Philadelphia struck for fours runs in the 2nd against Jim Bagby (2-6), and that would prove to be enough for Jing Johnson and Socks Seibold to put the Tribe away at Shibe Park. Whitey Witt’s two-run double was the big hit in the early uprising, and George Burns followed later with a pair of run-scoring two-baggers to pad the lead. Johnson (3-3) took a shutout into the 9th but ran out of gas and could not finish the deal; Seibold entered to record the final two outs after Cleveland had scored three times. Burns and Ray Chapman each recorded three safeties. [box]
Browns 4, Nationals 3: St. Louis got a pair of RBI from Baby Doll Jacobson, and made an early lead stick despite a late rush by Washington in front of their home crowd. Jacobson singled home George Sisler after his leadoff triple in the 2nd and then doubled Sisler home in the 3rd after the firstbaseman had reached on George McBride’s error. The Browns led 4-0 after four innings, but the Nationals chipped away at Carl Weilman with a pair in the 6th on doubles by Eddie Foster and Patsy Gharrity, and an RBI single from Sam Rice. In the bottom of the 9th, still trailing by two, Washington started the inning with base hits from Gharrity and Rice and a run-scoring groundout. When Howie Shanks singled the tying run was in scoring position with only one out, but Weilman (6-1) got Sam Agnew to fly out to shallow right and pinch-hitter Val Picinich to bounce out to second to end the game. Walter Johnson (5-3) struck out eight and Sam Rice had three hits in a losing cause. [box]
