Tigers 7, Red Sox 6: Detroit withstood a late Boston charge and took victory at the final hurdle when Eddie Ainsmith singled home Chick Shorten with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Tigers took an early 6-1 lead behind a double, triple and four RBI from Harry Heilmann, but Stuffy McInnis tripled home a run in the 6th and singled home two more in the 7th as the Sox rallied to tie the score. With one out in the last of the 9th Heilmann (4-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and a triple) singled but was caught stealing, Shorten walked, and Bob Jones singled to move Shorten to third. Ainsmith then grounded a base hit into center field to win it for the home team. [box]

Yankees 4, White Sox 2: Del Pratt's two-out, two-run two-base hit broke a tie in the 8th inning and propelled New York to a win over the League leaders. The clubs had exchanged early runs leading to a 2-2 tie after three innings, but Hank Thormahlen and Bill James tightened up and held the batters scoreless for the next four innings. Sammy Vick led off the 8th with a base hit and Frank Baker singled him to second base one out later, then Prat whacked one into the right-field corner which Shano Collins couldn't retrieve until both runners had scored and Pratt was standing at second. Thormahlen (9-7) toyed with fire in the final two inning, putting two men on base in each, but got a key double-play grounder from Collins to end the 8th and got Chick Gandil for the final out on a tapper back to the mound with runners on first and second. Hap Felsch had his 30th double of the season for the White Sox. [box]
Indians 3, Athletics 1: George Uhle stymied Philadelphia on six hits and a three-run 6th was all he needed to pitch Cleveland to a win at League Park. The A's got on the board first when Tris Speaker misplayed Wickey McAvoy's deep fly into a three-base error and Walt Kinney (7-12) doubled him home, and kept the lead in the bottom half when Uhle was thrown out at home by George Burns trying to score from first on Jack Graney's double. But in the following inning, Ray Chapman and Speaker started the frame with doubles to tie the score and Joe Harris followed with a single that gave Cleveland the lead. After a forceout and a groundout, Joe Wood singled to make the score 3-1 and then Uhle (7-2) took over. He retired nine in a row at one point and, after getting into a bases-loaded one-out jam in the 9th thanks to a Chapman error, he got PH Cy Perkins to ground into a 643 double play that ended the game. Chapman had a single, double and a stolen base. [box]
Nationals 7, Browns 5: Jim Shaw pitched 10.1 innings and hit a big home run in the 11th inning to allow Washington to salvage the final game of the series in St. Louis. Shaw (12-18) got off to a rocky start, allowing two homers (Jimmy Austin, Jack Tobin) and four runs in the 1st, but he then pitched nine scoreless innings as the Nationals clawed their way back into the game. A two-run, two-out rally in the 7th that was sparked by Joe Judge's triple brought the scores level and sent the game to extra innings. The top of the 11th started with a fielding error by Wally Gerber, and Shaw was up next and belted his fourth homer to put WAS on top; Judge then tripled again and scored on Eddie Foster's single and Shaw took a three-run lead to the bottom of the inning. He couldn't finish the deal, however, loading the bases on a single and two walks, and that brought Walter Johnson off the bench - Baby Doll Jacobson singled home one run but Johnson prevented any further damage to nail down the decision.
