White Sox 8, Indians 2: Eddie Collins stroked four hits, Joe Jackson drove in five runs and Eddie Murphy scored four as Chicago raced past Cleveland. The Indians led 2-1 after the 1st inning on Tris Speaker's two-run single, but Jackson's two-run hit got Chicago in front again in the 3rd and they added on another pair in the 4th and in the 5th to stretch their advantage. That was all that Lefty Williams (11-5) needed as he limited Cleveland to seven hits (only one after the 4th inning) without walking a batter and retiring thirteen of the last fourteen Indians. Larry Gardner had two doubles and a single. [box]

Red Sox 3, Athletics 1: Del Gainer's two-run homer was the difference between the two clubs as Boston edged Philadelphia at Shibe Park. The game was tied at one when Babe Ruth doubled off Socks Seibold (2-2) with one out in the 7th, and Gainer followed with a fly ball into the LF stands that broke the deadlock. Ray Caldwell was in command after allowing a 1st-inning run, limiting the A's to two hits after the 5th inning and collecting a hit and scoring a run of his own. Whitey Witt and Amos Strunk had two hits each for Philadelphia, and Frank Gilhooley did the same for the Sox. [box]
Browns 5, Tigers 0: Allen Sothoron was dominant on the mound and Earl Smith drive in three runs as St. Louis whitewashed Detroit. Joe Gedeon's RBI single in the 3rd got the Browns on the board and Jack Tobin made it 2-0 in 5th before Smith took over; he singled home Baby Doll Jacobson after the former's triple in the 6th and then he singled home two after Hooks Dauss (4-8) had walked two. Sothoron (6-8), meanwhile, allowed a Detroit runner to reach second base only once the entire afternoon as he suffocated the menacing Tiger offense. [box]
Yankees 5, Nationals 1: Frank Baker had four of New York's fifteen base hits and Allen Russell (4-2) provided eight strong innings of mound work to lead the Yankees over Washington at Griffith Stadium. New York's first run was created by Baker's single and stolen base and Duffy Lewis' RBI single. A three-run 5th was also kicked off by Baker's base hit, and he scored on Wally Pipp's hit with two more following him home on Ping Bodie's triple. Washington managed to scratch out one unearned run in the 7th, and put the first two men aboard in the 9th; Jack Quinn came on in relief of Russell and got a double play from Joe Judge to defuse the threat before recording the final out.
