Yankees 9, Red Sox 8: Roger Peckinpaugh and Duffy Lewis homered, and New York rallied with three runs in the 6th to overcome an early Boston lead and win at the Polo Grounds. The Sox scored three times in the first when Babe Ruth homered for the 34th time, with two men aboard, and the visitors led 5-3 before NY got two in the 5th on Del Pratt's two-out two-run single and then took the lead with five hits in the following frame. Lewis's homer in the 7th, and another Pratt run-scoring single in the 8th, proved necessary as Boston scored twice in the 7th and once in the 9th before leaving the tying run at second when Bob Shawkey recorded the final out. Pratt had four hits in the game, and Harry Hopper had three. [box]

Yankees 7, Red Sox 6: A key fielding error by the normally sure-handed Everett Scott opened the door to another late New York rally and a doubleheader sweep at home. Boston had taken a 5-4 lead in the top of the 7th on Red Shannon's RBI hit, but NY started the bottom half with two singles and a walk that tied the game. Waite Hoyt appeared to have staunched the bleeding at that point, retiring the next two men and getting Duffy Lewis to buzz one along the ground to short, but Scott could come up with only a mittful of pebbles as another run scored and then Ping Bodie drove the knife further home with an RBI single that gave the home team a two-run lead. Boston tried - and failed - again to rally late, but George Mogridge (4-8) got Stuffy McInnis with two men in scoring position to end the 8th and then put the Sox away quietly in the 9th. Roger Peckinpaugh scored three times, and Braggo Roth had three base hits. [box]
