Red Sox CF Tilly Walker, imitating Tris Speaker, his predecessor, dashes in for a low line drive and beats the runner back to second base for an unassisted double play. It is an important play, as Dutch Leonard defeats Nick Cullop of the Yankees 1 – 0 in the 10th on Harry Hooper’s sacrifice fly. The win clinches a tie for the pennant for Boston.

In the opener of a doubleheader, Giants pitcher Rube Benton takes a no-hitter into the 8th inning before Braves 1B Ed Konetchy repeats his performance of two days ago by lacing a hit, the only Boston safety. Benton wins the one-hitter, 4 – 0, for New York’s record 26th win in a row. Boston then wins the second game, 8 – 3, behind Lefty Tyler to snap the historic streak. Jeff Tesreau, in relief of Slim Sallee, is ineffective. Despite the winning streak, and an earlier skein of 17 victories on the road, New York finishes in 4th place.
