Indians 7, Browns 1: A tight pitching matchup blew apart when Cleveland scored five times in the 8th inning to sprint past St. Louis at Sportsman's Park. Elmer Myers and Carl Weilman had been largely untroubled by the batsmen for seven innings, with George Sisler and Joe Wood exchanging RBI singles, but the 8th was a different story. Harry Lunte drew a leadoff walk and was sacrificed to second, then Myers hit a dribbler down the third-base line for an infield single. Steve O'Neill singled to score Lunte and Myers followed him with another base hit. When O'Neill beat the throw home on Elmer Smith's grounder to the right of the mound, the Indians led by two and the wheels were coming off for the Browns. Bill Wambsganss singled in another run and then the next two men reached on fielding errors to score another. Larry Gardner concluded the damage with a two-run single and Myers (4-1) put away the final ten Browns to curtail any sense of suspense. [box]

White Sox 4, Tigers 1: Lefty Williams (13-5) allowed only a single unearned run and Happy Felsch drove in the go-ahead run as Chicago defeated Detroit. After the Tigers had scored in their first at-bat, assisted by Nemo Leibold's fumble, Chicago strung together three singles in the bottom half to score twice. Felsch's RBI double in the 6th provided insurance that Williams didn't need - he retired the last fifteen Tigers to waltz his way to a complete-game win that made him the League's first thirteen-game winner. Donie Bush doubled twice for Detroit. [box]
Nationals 9, Yankees 3: Joe Leonard had three hits and Mike Menosky drove in four runs to lead Washington to a straightforward victory in New York. Menosky homered (2) with two aboard in the 1st to get Washington off and running and Walter Johnson hit a two-run homer (1) in the next inning to pad the lead. Johnson (12-4) had all of the support he would need at this point - with the exception of a speed bump in the 6th centered around Sammy Vick's triple, Barney was in control and allowed only one hit over the final four innings to keep the door closed on the Yankee offense.
