Yankees 5, Tigers 3: George Mogridge recovered from a shaky start to pitch effectively into the 9th inning and knocked in the eventual deciding runs with a two-run single as New York edged Detroit. The Tigers whacked Mogridge around a bit in the 1st, with three doubles leading to a pair of Detroit runs, but New York squared things up in the 3rd behind a walk and three consecutive two-out singles from the top of the order. In the home 4th, a Donie Bush bobble put the leadoff man aboard, and a Ping Bodie single and a walk loaded the bases with Mogridge due up. The NY lefty failed to get a squeeze bunt down but then slapped a ground ball through the infield that scored two runs to put the Yanks in front. Mogridge (6-8) sailed through the middle innings on the hill, only having to survive one real threat when he walked two and hit a man to load the bases with two gone in the 6th, but he sagged in the final frame and was lifted after allowing an unearned runs and then walking two more to fill the bases with only one out. Bob Shawkey came into the game and struck out Bobby Veach and got Harry Heilmann to sky a ball to right field for the final out. [box]

White Sox 5, Red Sox 2: It took Chicago a few innings to size up Boston hurler Waite Hoyt but, when they had learned to be patient with the teenage righty out, they turned six late-inning walks into four runs that pushed them to a win on the road. The Red Sox had taken an early lead on Hoyt's RBI hit, but Chicago tied the game in the 5th on Swede Risberg's triple and Ray Schalk's run-scoring single. When Hoyt (8-5) then issued his first free pass of the game, to Nemo Leibold with two outs, it didn't seem like much at the time but it was in fact a sign of things to come. He walked the first two batters in the 6th, leading to a run on Risberg's ground ball and one more on a passed ball that gave Chicago the lead, and walked another in each of the 7th and the 8th. In the 9th, his four balls to Leibold pushed a runner into scoring position that came across on Buck Weaver's hit and Eddie Cicotte (25-8) had what he needed, retiring ten of the final eleven Bostonians to seal the deal. Weaver and Joe Jackson reached base three times apiece for the White Sox. [box]
Athletics 7, Browns 5: Ivy Griffin homered and drove in three runs as Philadelphia nurtured an early lead all the way to the end to defeat St. Louis. The As built a 5-1 advantage through the first two innings behind Griffin's two-run inside-the-park shot and RBI single and, after the Browns had closed in with a two-run 5th, answered with two of their own on Al Wingo's two-run single. Walt Kinney (10-14) was solid from there on, allowing an unearned run in the 7th before seeing the game out by fanning Pat Collins (three RBI) with two on for the final out. Griffin and Wingo each reached base three times, as did John Shovlin and George Sisler for St. Louis. [box]
Nationals 4, Indians 1: Jim Shaw held Cleveland at bay while Patsy Gharrity's three hits paced a Washington attack that did enough to win. Gharrity's leadoff double in the 4th set off a two-run inning that gave the Nationals a 3-1 lead and set Shaw (16-19) up for success. He allowed only three hits and one walk over the final five innings while striking out four including a game-ending swinging third strike of Jack Graney. Washington rapped five doubles on the afternoon, with Joe Judge and Joe Leonard each delivering one as part of their two hits at the top of the batting order. [box]
