Indians 5, Nationals 4: In a wild affair at League Park, Washington took the lead in the top of the 13th and then gave back the lead and the ballgame in the bottom half without recording a single out. The Nationals had scored three times in the 6th and the 7th (Hal Janvrin with an unlikely home run!) to take a 3-1 lead behind Harry Harper into the last of the 9th, but it wouldn't stick. The first three men singled to score one run and Doc Johnston then hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game. In the 13th, the light-hitting Janvrin - who reached base SIX times - singled to start it off. After a sacrifice and a groundout, Eddie Foster doubled to score Janvrin with the go-ahead run but, again, Washington would be unable to reach the finish line. The first two Indians singled off Eric Erickson (2-3), which brought Jim Shaw off the bench. But Elmer Smith stroked a pinch-hit double to tie the score and, after Steve O'Nell was walked intentionally to set up the force play at home, Joe Harris singled through the infield to win the day for Cleveland. Patsy Gharrity and Bill Wambsganss had three hits each. [box]

White Sox 4, Red Sox 2: Lefty Williams became the first AL hurler to fifteen wins, backed by Buck Weaver's two RBI. Weaver put Chicago ahead in the first on an RBI groundout and tripled in a run in the 7th to double the lead; Williams (15-5) took a shutout into the 8th, but left one out over the plater for Harry Hooper to deposit into the right-field grandstand for his second home run of the season. Nemo Leibold singled twice and scored on both occasions for the White Sox. [box]
Tigers 10, Yankees 9: The clubs combined for nine runs in the final two innings but the Tigers got the last crack and the last laugh, scoring four times in the bottom of the 9th to steal one out from under the noses of the New Yorkers. A five-run 4th, helped along by two Yankee errors, saw the home team take a 6-2 lead into the 6th. But Wally Pipp hit his third homer of the year in that frame to make it 6-4 and then five NY singles in the 8th produced three runs and a 7-6 Yankee advantage. When NY got two more in the 9th (this time with the help of two Tiger miscues), it looked as if they had put the contest on ice. But four hits and a ground out against Jack Quinn (8-8) produced three runs to tie it up, and reliever George Mogridge couldn't stop the bleeding; he walked Cobb to put the winning run into scoring position and then Bobby Veach hit one over Sammy Vick's head in right to end the game. Veach and Duffy Lewis each had four hits in a busy day on the basepaths. [box]
Browns 4, Athletics 2: George Sisler homered in the 7th to put St. Louis in front, and Carl Weilman continued his recent run of strong hurling to lead the home team to a win. Philadelphia took the lead on two unearned runs in the 2nd, but Sisler tripled and scored in the home half and then hit a sacrifice fly in the 5th to tie the score. Weilman (11-3), who has now pitched 19.1 innings since allowing his last earned run, held the A's to three hits over the final five innings as Sisler was playing the batting hero. [box]
