Cleveland’s Terry Turner ends a long dry spell by hitting a three-run homer off the Browns’ Earl Hamilton. Turner’s last home run was back in 1906: he had gone 3,186 at bats without a round-tripper.

The Cardinals trade OF Ted Cather and INF Possum Whitted to the Braves for righty Hub Perdue.

At the Polo Grounds, the Giants and Robins battle to a split. Brooklyn lurches to an 8 – 7 win in the opener. In game 2, Giants starter Jeff Tesreau is tossed in the 3rd inning for disputing a call, and Christy Mathewson rushes in to relieve with the score 1 – 1. New York scores four in the 3rd off Frank Allen and goes on to win, 8 – 6.

With attendance down in the Federal League, Robert Ward, president of the Brooklyn Tip Tops, announces that ticket prices at Washington Park will be reduced from 50 cents to 25 cents. The Pittsburgh Filipinos will soon follow suit.

1914 – In Boston, the Giants hammer the Braves for 27 hits, winning 8 – 4 and 10 – 4, and put Boston back in the cellar. Boston had moved into 7th place with yesterday’s win over New York. Christy Mathewson wins the opener over Lefty Tyler, and Art Fromme wraps up the nitecap.

The Giants shade the Reds, 3 – 2, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 9th off Red Ames. Christy Mathewson gives up seven hits and no walks as the Giants increase their lead over the National League to four games. For the second year in a row, Matty will end the season with fewer walks than victories, the only pitcher ever to accomplish that.
