Nationals 9, Red Sox 1: Mike Menosky, the AL's leading hitter, kept up his torrid pace with two hits and three RBI, including the opening runs of the game and Dick Robertson did the rest. The 28-year old righthander allowed only one hit over the first seven innings and pitched into the 9th until he needed a bit of help from Charlie Whitehouse to finish off the Sox. Menosky, now batting a gaudy .424, doubled in two runs in the 3rd, and singled in a run and scored himself in the 4th to help the Nats build an 8-0 lead. Joe Judge, Sam Rice and Howie Shanks also had two hits apiece for Washington. [box]

Results of the games played on the 40th day of the 1919 American League season . . .

Browns 6, Indians 4: Baby Doll Jacobson doubled and drove in three runs, and St. Louis took enough advantage of shoddy Indians play in the field (four errors) to win the first game of a doubleheader in Cleveland. Jacobson's two-run single in the 3rd gave the Browns a 3-0 lead and, after the Indians had rallied to within 5-4 he doubled home George Sisler (3-for-5, double, two runs scored, two steals) for a safety score in the top of the 9th. Carl Weilman, who labored through eight hits and five walks, then set the heart of the Browns' order down in order in the last half-inning. Joe Wood had two hits and two RBI for the Indians. [box]

Indians 10, Browns 1: Stan Coveleski pitched a one-hitter, and Earl Smith and Steve O'Neill each had four hits as Cleveland got five runs in the 4th and then cantered to victory. The bottom third of the Indians lineup went a combined 8-for-12 with six runs scored and five knocked in, while St. Louis could manage to dent the scorecard with only a Baby Doll Jacobson single in the 6th, after which Coveleski (who walked four men) set down the final ten Browns in order. [box]

White Sox 12, Indians 2: Ray Schalk had two hits, two walks, drove in two runs and scored three and Dickey Kerr allowed no earned runs over nine innings as Chicago thumped Cleveland. This affair was over fairly quickly, as the White Sox scored TEN runs in the third inning on only five hits (although these included two triples and a double, plus two errors and three walks; Buck Weaver had two of those hits); from there on, it was smooth sailing for Kerr, who allowed seven hits and walked two.Nemo Leibold and Weaver had three hits apiece from the top two spots of the Chicago batting order.  [box]
