Browns 5, Tigers 4: Jack Tobin had four singles and St. Louis survived a late Detroit rally to win a close one in Detroit. After the Tigers had jumped into the lead in the 1st behind Ty Cobb's RBI single, stolen base and Bobby Veach's triple, the Browns struck back with four straight singles and a sacrifice fly in the 4th that put them in front 4-2. Earl Smith's second RBI single of the game made it 5-2 in the 5th and Rolla Mapel (1-0) looked as if he would hold that edge through to the end, before he wilted in the bottom of the 9th. He drilled Ralph Young in the ribs to start the inning and, one out later, Veach doubled to put two men in scoring position and bring the tying runs to the plate. That man was Harry Heilmann, and he singled to score both runs and that was the afternoon for Mapel. Ernie Koob came on and struck out two of the next three men to leave the tying runs standing on second base. [box]

Nationals 9, Athletics 3: Washington crammed ten hits into a three-inning span to bulldoze Philadelphia at Shibe Park. The A's went ahead 3-1 in the 2nd behind Terry Tuner's two-run single, but Jimmy Zinn could not hold back the National assault that was to come in the 4th. Three singles, a sacrifice fly, an error and a passed ball conspired to deliver four Washington runs, and two more scored in the 5th on Sam Agnew's two-run double. Zinn (0-1) didn't survive to see the 6th, but the outcome was similar as the Nats touched William Pierson for two more runs that completed the scoring. Walter Johnson (20-6) gathered himself after the early PHA outburst, and allowed only three more hits over the final seven innings while striking out six. Howie Shanks and Mike Menosky had three hits each for Washington. [box]
Nationals 7, Athletics 1: The Nationals used twelve hits and three Athletic errors to pull away to a victory that gave them a doubleheader sweep in Philadelphia, as the A's lost for the seventh straight time and for the thirteenth time in their last fourteen games. It was a tight 2-1 contest in Washington's favor through six innings, but unreliable Philadelphia fielding accelerated their eventual demise. Miscues by secondbaseman Whitey Witt and pitcher Rollie Naylor in the 7th led to three unearned runs in a five-run inning and Harry Harper (6-18) held the A's scoreless aside from George Burn's 4th-inning homer. Joe Judge led Washington with three base hits. [box]
