Indians 11, Red Sox 2: Cleveland erupted for nine runs in the middle innings behind Bill Wambsganss' four hits and Larry Gardner's three RBI. Cleveland led by a slim 1-0 margin as they came to bat in the top of the 5th against the young Boston hurler Waite Hoyt (4-1, but a double and two walks after one man was out loaded the bases and then Ray Chapman and Tris Speaker whacked two-run singles to finish off a five-run inning. There was more to come in the 7th as Gardner doubled with the bases loaded and Wambsganss doubled him home as part of a four-run outburst. One the other side Jim Bagby (11-11) was slicing through the Sox - Boston scored twice in the 8th with the assistance of Gardner's throwing error, but were held otherwise hitless over the final five innings. Wambsganss had a busy day in addition to his four base hits, being caught twice attempting to steal and making an error in the field. [box]

Nationals 2, Tigers 1: Hal Janvrin's single broke a 1-1 tie in the 8th inning as Washington tamed the Tigers at Griffith Stadium. Detroit had tied the game in the top of the inning against Walter Johnson in the top of the inning on Bobby Veach's double and Chick Shorten's RBI single, but Bernie Boland (14-5) couldn't hold the line in the bottom half. That edge was all that Barney needed as he whipped through the Detroit batters in the 9th without the ball leaving the infield. Joe Judge had three hits, including a double, for the winners. [box]
