loaded the bases along the way.
Detroit

The
Tigers led 5-0 after the third inning, but then the Red Sox came alive with a
nine-run fourth, and after that, then things got crazy. Errors, passed balls,
walks … quite a game. Chat Laabs
smacked a pair of homeruns (5, 6) for the losers, but the Red Sox drew ten
walks in the game and were continually able to take advantage,
Philadelphia (AL) 17 St. Louis (AL) (H) 3 (Cycle!)
Philadelphia manager Connie Mack has spent the past two months sorting through players and trying to build a solid lineup, and over the past few weeks, the A's, while still not a good team, were no longer the pushover they were initially. Today, they jumped on a tired Browns bullpen to collect twenty-three hits, including four doubles, three triples, and three homeruns. The star of today's hit parade was A's first baseman Lou Finney, who went 6-for-7 (.361), with two runs scored, six RBI's, a double, two triples, and a homerun (6), hitting for the Cycle. Buck Ross (4-2, 5.34) went all the way for the win.

5 Brooklyn (H) 0

of the ninth.
New York
(NL) (H) 6 Cincinnati 2
Homeruns
by Hank
Leiber (9) and Dick

(5-3, 3.48).
Chicago
(NL) 4 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 3
With the
score tied at 3-3, Ripper

third base. Collins made a mad dash for home when Charlie Root
(1-1, 0.38) hit an infield bouncer, beat the throw to the plate to put the
visitors up 4-3. Root remained in the game for a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth to
get the win in relief.

Lefty Gomez

play, so Gomez only faced twenty-seven batters in the game.

A tight one where the Indians kept clawing their way into the lead only to see New York come back and tie the score back up, and then in the ninth, backup catcher Joe Glenn delivered an RBI single that put the Yankees ahead.

having thrown seven shutout innings and then after having gotten the first two

the shutout victory.

cruised to an easy win, thanks to the Cincinnati offense. Four two-run homeruns
gave the Reds an 8-0 lead and then they capped that off with eight runs in the
ninth, the big hit being a Grand Slam homerun (4) by Ernie
