White Sox 5, Nationals 0: Eddie Cicotte dominated Washington to win his eighteenth game of the campaign and got help from Nemo Leibold's two-hit, two-walk, three-run showing at the top of the Chicago lineup. Leibold singled to start the game and scored the first run when Buck Weaver tripled; he walked to lead off the 5th and scored on a wild pitch and Eddie Collins single that put the White Sox up by a score of 3-0; then he singled and scored in the 9th on Happy Felsch's single. Cicotte got stronger as the day warmed up in the Nation's capital, only allowing two Washington safeties after the 3rd inning and retiring eleven in a row until permitting two to reach in the bottom of the 9th. Joe Jackson had two RBI to take over the League lead from teammate Felsch with 84. [box]

Yankees 6, Indians 3: Del Pratt knocked in two runs without the benefit of a hit, and Carl Mays throttled Cleveland before tiring at the line in a New York win. The Yankees scored twice in the 1st, on a Duffy Lewis sac fly and a Wally Pipp double, and twice more in the 2nd on RBI singles from Mays and Sammy Vick, to run out to a lead while Mays was holding the Indians to just two base hits over the first five innings. It was 5-0 before Cleveland got on the scoreboard, with a Pipp miscue opening the door to a run in the 6th, and they scored two more in the 9th as Mays (8-8) tried to hold on for the complete game victory.
