Tigers 12, White Sox 4: Detroit built a slim lead over Chicago and then piled on with a six-run 9th inning that erased any doubt at Comiskey Park. A four-run 4th, keyed by Bob Jones' two-run double, gave the Tigers an early 4-2 lead and they nursed this advantage through seven innings as the two clubs exchanged single runs in both the 5th and the 7th. In the 9th, though, four hits, two walks and a Buck Weaver error conspired to produce six runs and Doc Ayers (6-4) set the home side down in order in the bottom of the 9th. Oscar Stanage had four RBI for Detroit, but the real batting story of the day was Ty Cobb - the Tiger star came to the plate for the final time of the season in that 9th inning batting 0.3993 for the campaign, and delivered his second hit of the game to finish with a .400 batting average for the third time in his career (and the first since 1912).

Indians 11, Browns 2: Cleveland scored in each of the first five innings to run away from St. Louis at League Park. The first of Tris Speaker's two triples scored the first run of the game in the opening stanza, and the second drove across two runs in the 5th to give the Indians a 7-0 bulge. It was a ten-run lead before the Browns could get on the board themselves (with the help of a Ray Chapman error) and Stan Coveleski (16-17) eased to the finish for a complete-game win. Speaker finished with three hits adn reached base a total of five times, and Chapman stroked three safeties as well. [box]
Nationals 14, Red Sox 0: It was a day for the bats, it seemed, as Washington also scored in every one of the first five innings to run up a gaudy scoreline against Boston. Bob McGraw (1-3) couldn't make it out of the 3rd inning before allowing seven runs, and George Dumont didn't fare any better as he saw six more runs cross the plate in less than three innings of work. Four Red Sox had three hits as part of their nineteen-hit attack that included six doubles, while Al Schacht stifled the Sox on only three hits in hurling a whitewash. [box]
