Red Sox 9, Athletics 2: Babe Ruth and Everett Scott each had three hits, and Boston used a big 8th inning to pull away from Philadelphia in the City of Brotherly Love. The A's scored twice in the 1st after the first four men reached base against Sam Jones (10-14), but the Sox responded with a run in the 3rd on Ruth's two-out RBI double and two in the 4th on Harry Hooper's two-out, two-run two-bagger. It was still a contest at 4-1 after seven innings but Win Noyes (0-5) ran out of steam in the 8th, putting two men on base, and Scott Perry could not find the plate when called upon to bail him out - three bases-loaded walks put Boston well clear and Jones held Philadelphia to three hits over the last seven innings.

White Sox 6, Indians 0: Eddie Cicotte allowed only five baserunners and Nemo Leibold had three hits and scored twice as Chicago whitewashed Cleveland at Comiskey Park. Leibold walked, stole second and scored the third White Sox run in the 3rd, and then doubled to lead off the 5th before scoring on Buck Weaver's two-run single. Chicago batted a blistering 7-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Cicotte (23-8), meanwhile, allowed only one hit over the first five innings and only two Indians reached second base on the afternoon and retired eleven of the final twelve CLE hitters. [box]
Tigers 9, Browns 2: Ty Cobb singled three times, scored three times and knocked in a pair of runs to help Detroit run over St. Louis. By the end of the 3rd inning, Tyrus already had two hits, two RBI and two runs scored as the Tigers raced out to a 5-1 lead, as Hook Dauss (9-16) was busy holding the Brownies at bay. He allowed single runs in the 3rd and 4th, but stuffed St. Louis on a single safety over the last four innings on his way to the complete-game victory. Harry Heilmann hit his 11th home run of the season and drove home three. [box]
