Indians 11, Red Sox 10: Cleveland stormed back from a huge deficit in the 8th inning to win in a minor miracle at League Park. Boston had posted two four-run frames as they ran out to a big lead, with only a three-run 3rd fueled by two unearned runs putting a dent in the Red Sox parade of runs. When Babe Ruth's 24th home run of the season made the score 10-3, there could have been none but the most fanatical in the crowd who truly thought the Indians had a chance. But four walks by Sad Sam Jones - who had not walked a batter in the previous seven innings - set the table for a four-run CLE inning that gave them hope, and Tris Speaker's 9th inning triple scored two more and set him up to tally the game-tying run on Joe Harris' single. Elmer Myers (11-2) put down the Sox in order in the 10th, and Bob McGraw (0-2) walked three more men to load the bases in the bottom half before Harris won it with another RBI base hit. Harris, Ray Chapman and Larry Gardner had three hits apiece for Cleveland while Jack Graney drew three bases on balls. [box]

White Sox 6, Nationals 4: Washington thought they had Eddie Cicotte and Chicago right where they wanted them after a four-run 1st inning, but the Sox had other ideas and rode a four-run 3rd to a come-from behind win at Comiskey Park. Two CHI fielding errors helped do Eddie in during the opening stanza, but they got one back in the bottom half when WAS returned the favor of a run-scoring muff when Howie Shanks failed to handle Hap Felsch's ground ball. The exact same scenario played out again in the 4th - with runners on second and third and one out, Felsch again bounced one off the glove of Shanks to score one run and RBI hits by Gandil and Cicotte pushed Chicago in front. Cicotte (20-7) was nearly impregnable on the hill after the 1st, allowing only two hits and a walk thereafter and slamming the door on his twentieth victory of the year by setting down the last seven Nats. Joe Judge and Eddie Collins had three hits each. [box]
Tigers 6, Athletics 1: Doc Ayers went the distance and Ty Cobb had four hits, including a pair of doubles, to lead Detroit over Philadelphia. Cobb singled and scored in the 3rd and doubled and scored in the 4th as the Tigers shot out to a 5-0 lead, while Ayers (4-2) was only really under duress in 7th; with the bases full and only one out, though, he got both Joe Dugan and Fred Thomas to ground out and then cruised through the final three innings. Wickey McAvoy (.181) had three hits for the As. [box]
