Tigers 11, Athletics 0: Once again, Detroit used the big inning to crush Philadelphia - this time it was seven runs in the 6th as the A's pitching and defensive woes continue to mount. The Tigers had pushed across a single run in the opening frame on a single, sac bunt, ground out and wild pitch, but it was quiet from there for both Walt Kinney (4-7) and Slim Love until the dam burst for the Tigers in the 6th. Three fielding errors amplified the pain of four hits, a walk, and two stolen bases as Ralph Young and Harry Heilmann each delivered two-run hits. Detroit piled on three more runs in the 8th and Love (4-3) waltzed to victory on a five-hit complete-game whitewash of the circuit's cellar dwellers. Heilmann knocked in three runs (putting him over the 50-RBI mark for the season) and Donie Bush scored three times. [box]

White Sox 4, Nationals 3: Hap Felsch homered to lead off the bottom of the 11th inning as Chicago capped off a comeback at home against Washington. The visitors had gotten straight to work when Joe Judge led off the game with a single, stole second and took third on Byrd Lynn's throwing error, and scored on Edie Foster's ground out. But Jim Shaw and Red Faber were tough nuts to crack, and there was no further scoring until the home club took the lead in the 7th. Chick Gandil singled to start the inning, moved to second on Fred McMullin's sacrifice, and scored on Lynn's single back through the box. After Faber bunted him to second, Nemo Leibold grounded one to second base which Hal Janvrin threw wildly past first base allowing the go-ahead run to score. But the Nats fought back in the 8th with doubles from Howie Shanks and Shaw to get level, and then an single and a Foster sac fly to take back the lead. The White Sox, however, ran back their 7th-inning script in the 9th - Gandil led off with a base hit, McMullin bunted him to second, and PH Eddie Murphy singled him across to make the score 3-3. Faber yielded to Dickey Kerr (8-3) in extra innings, but Shaw (8-11) kept right on dealing into the 11th when Felsch put a sudden and happy end to affairs for the Chicago crowd. Judge and Sam Rice each chipped in three hits for WAS. [box]
Indians 6, Red Sox 0: Guy Morton dominated Boston at League Park, holding the Bostons to only three hits in a masterful shutout performance. The Sox got a leadoff single by Stuffy McInnis in the 3rd, and a single and triple by Dave Shean, and that was it. Morton (7-9) retired twelve of the last thirteen Red Sox and only faced four batters over the minimum. Babe Ruth (2-3) pitched well enough on the other side, having a shutout of his own in the works through six innings, but wilted in the 7th to allow six hits and six runs that both broke the tie and put the game of reach. Jack Graney reached base three times, Tris Speaker drive in two and scored a pair, and Doc Johnston had three hits. [box]
Browns 5, Yankees 2: St. Louis rode three hits each from George Sisler, Earl Smith and Hank Severeid to a home win over New York. Severeid's RBI double tied the game at one apiece in the 2nd, and Smith drove home Sisler after the latter had walked and stolen second in the 4th to make it 4-1. Allen Sothoron (7-9) continued his run of miserly pitching with nine fine innings, allowing only a single earned run on eight hits and two free passes. On the other side of the coin for the Browns, Wally Gerber made his league-leading 29th error of the season at shortstop. Roger Peckinpaugh had three singles for the Yankees. [box]
