Results of the games played on the 40th day of the 1919 American League season . . .
Browns 6, Indians 4: Baby Doll Jacobson doubled and drove in three runs, and St. Louis took enough advantage of shoddy Indians play in the field (four errors) to win the first game of a doubleheader in Cleveland. Jacobson's two-run single in the 3rd gave the Browns a 3-0 lead and, after the Indians had rallied to within 5-4 he doubled home George Sisler (3-for-5, double, two runs scored, two steals) for a safety score in the top of the 9th. Carl Weilman, who labored through eight hits and five walks, then set the heart of the Browns' order down in order in the last half-inning. Joe Wood had two hits and two RBI for the Indians. [box]

Indians 3, Browns 1: Guy Morton was in command the entire afternoon on the hill for Cleveland, and Bill Wambsganss had three hits, scored the eventual winning runs and knocked in an insurance tally. With St. Louis leading 1-0, Morton singled to start off the home half of the 3rd and scored one outs late on Elmer Smith's ground out. Wambsganss began the following frame with a base hit, was sacrificed to second and trotted home on Steve O'Neill's base hit. Morton, meanwhile, was limiting St. Louis to five hits and three walks and retired eleven of the final twelve Browns. Wambsganss' fine day was somewhat dampened when he committed his League-leading 14th error of the season. [box]
White Sox 4, Tigers 1: Grover Lowdermilk gave a fine complete-game effort and Swede Risberg knocked in two key runs with a base hit as Chicago defeated Detroit at Navin Field. Risberg came to the plate with runners on second and third in the 2nd inning and delivered a two-run base hit that put the White Sox in front to stay. They would expand the lead to 4-0 before the Tigers got a single run on Eddie Ainsmith's sacrifice fly, but that was all they could scrape together against Lowdermilk's offerings. Chicago swiped three bases on the afternoon. [box]
Nationals 7, Red Sox 2: Every player in the Washington lineup had at least one hit. and Harry Harper allowed just two runs in the final inning as the Nationals won easily at home. The home team got on the board on Joe Judge's RBI double in the 3rd and scored again in each of the next three innings to build a 7-0 cushion through six innings. Harper was on his way to a shutout before he ran out of gas in the 9th, issuing two free passes that would set up Everett Scott's two-run single. Harper had three hits, two of the two-baggers, in support of his own cause and Mike Menosky reached base three times. [box]
Yankees 8, Athletics 2: Frank Baker had three hits and Truck Hannah hit a circuit clout to help Jack Quinn pitch the Yankees past the As at Shibe Park. New York scored twice in each of the first two innings against Bill Grevell, who struggled to throw strikes and was hit solidly when he did (four BB, eight hits allowed in 4.1 ip). Hannah hit a two-run blast, his first of the season, in the 6th to run the score to 7-1 and Quinn cruised home from there, allowing only an unearned run in the 2nd and a solo homer to Tillie Walker in the 6th.
