White Sox 9, Tigers 4: Swede Risberg had three hits, scored twice and drove home a pair and Eddie Cicotte pitched carefully around eleven Detroit hits as Chicago earned a split with a convincing win, their 80th of the American League campaign. The Sox put the game out of reach early, scoring seven times in the first four innings against an off-form Bernie Boland (16-8) behind five hits in the 2nd and four walks in the 3rd. Cicotte (22-8) was not his sharpest, and wasn't well-supported by the fielders behind him, but he held Tiger batters to 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position to go the distance. Ty Cobb had three hits for Detroit. [box].

Tigers 4, White Sox 3: Detroit scored twice in the bottom of the 10th inning to snatch victory out of the grasp of the front-running Chicagos at Navin Field. The team had traded runs in the early innings, with Joe Jackson homering and Donie Bush singled in one run and scoring another, but Hooks Dauss and Lefty Williams were getting the better of the batters on the day and the game went into extra innings tied at two runs apiece. The Sox put runners at second and third with no outs in the 10th and did not score, but they seemed to make up for this in the 10th; Buck Weaver doubled with one out and, after Jackson was intentionally passed, Hap Felsch lined a single that scored Weaver to give Chicago the lead. Dauss (8-16) escaped without further damage, and this turned out to be critical. Williams (23-11) came out for the home half of the 10th and got two of the three outs he needed around a Ty Cobb single, but Harry Heilmann ripped his 30th double of the year to chase Cobb home with the tying run and Ira Flagstead hit a line drive single to center that was enough to score Heilmann with the game winner.

Red Sox 3, Nationals 2: Babe Ruth held Washington to seven hits and Braggo Roth reached base three times as Boston won the first game of a doubleheader at Fenway Park. The visitors scored first, when Bucky Harris doubled with two out in the 3rd and scored on Patsy Gharrity's base hit, but Roth singled to begin the home 4th and kick off a two-run rally that put the Sox in front. Another BOS run scored on a Harry Harper (5-18) wild pitch in the 5th, and that gave Ruth (4-7) the cushion he needed; the Nationals got one back in the 8th on two singles and a stolen base, but that would be all as the Babe went the distance. Gharrity had three hits for Washington. [box]
Nationals 3, Red Sox 1: Jim Shaw pitched Washington to a split with a complete-game six-hitter, and was backed by two Joe Judge hits that included the game-deciding RBI. After the clubs traded 2nd-inning scores, Shaw and Allen Russell (7-10) tossed scoreless ball into the late innings and the game was still knotted at one into the 8th inning. Shaw, who has been a bit hard done by the Nationals offense and fielding this season (WAS made two errors again today) and was trying to avoid his twentieth loss of the season, took matters into his own hands and belted a three-base-hit to left-center field to start the inning and skipped home when Judge followed with a ground-ball single. A Sam Rice double and Frank Ellerbe single in the 9th gave Shaw (14-19) a two-run lead, and he held the Sox without a hit over the final two innings to make it stick. [box]
Yankees 4, Athletics 3: Del Pratt had three of the thirteen New York hits and Jack Quinn pitched nine innings without allowing a free pass as the Yanks edged the A's in Philadelphia. New York took a 3-2 lead after two innings and then Quinn and Win Noyes (0-4) settled into pitcher's contest that lasted until the 8th inning. New York got an insurance run on Muddy Ruel's two-out RBI single, and Philadelphia then scored one and put the tying run on basein the bottom of the 9th before Quinn (17-11) retired Fred Thomas for the game's final out. George Burns cracked a double and a homer for Philadelphia. [box]
Indians 4, Browns 3: Bert Gallia pitched gallantly for ten innings, but it was his glove that ended up as his undoing when Cleveland outlasted St. Louis at Sportsman's Park. Cleveland overcame an early 2-0 SLA lead by stringing together three singles and a walk in a three-run 5th, but the Browns tied the game again in the 6th when George Sisler tripled and scored on Jack Tobin's sacrifice fly. But the scoring then came to a halt as Gallia and George Uhle rose to the task, Uhle escaping a man-on-third, no-out jam in 7th. In the 10th, Gallia retired the first Indian but then walked Bill Wambsganss; when Earl Smith bounced one back to Gallia it looked like an easy second out, but the Browns hurler airmailed the throw to first and Wamby advanced to third base. Pinch-hitter Doc Johnston then lifted a fly ball to left that was deep enoug for the runner to tag with the go-ahead tally. St. Louis didn't go quietly in their half, as they put together two singles after two men were gone, but Uhle got Tobin to fly out to end the game. Smith had three hits n the game, and Sisler had four to raise his season's average to .382. [box]
Browns 6, Indians 5: St. Louis scored once in the 8th and once again in the 9th to pull victory from the jaws of defeat in front of the home crowd. An eventful first few innings saw the score tied at four after only four frames, but the pace of the contest slowed until Cleveland took the lead in the 8th thanks to Jimmy Austin's throwing error and Steve O'Neill's single. St. Louis answered in the bottom half with three singles, tying the game on Ray Demmitt's base hit, and then won the game in the last of the 9th when Austin redeemed himself with a one-out double and scored on Joe Gedeon's base hit.
