Prior to the Braves-Giants game, the Giants Old Timers take on the Giants regulars in a 5-inning contest. Twenty thousand fans cheer as former stars Christy Mathewson, Roger Bresnahan, Hooks Wiltse, Art Devlin, Larry Doyle and Fred Tenney whip the current Giants, 2 – 0. The regular game is called because of rain after one inning, but only 4,000 fans ask for a refund.

Allen Sothoron establishes a major league record by not yielding a home run during the 178 innings he throws this season. The 28 year-old right-hander, who started the season with the Browns before being sent to the Red Sox for a brief stint, will pitch the majority of his games with the Indians.

The Browns’ Urban Shocker stops the Yanks, 2 – 0, racking up his 5th win in nine decisions against New York this year. It is his 27th win of the year.

In the first of two at Boston, Braves C Ray Powell hits three triples, tying the Major League mark, in an 8 – 5 win over Brooklyn. Dana Fillingim is the winner over Burleigh Grimes.

1921 – At the Polo Grounds, the Yankees thrash the 2nd-place Indians, 21 – 7, to move a full game ahead of the Tribe. The Yanks knock out Ray Caldwell in the 2nd and dust Duster Mails for 10 runs in his two innings. Carl Mays goes the distance for the win.

1921 – Harry Heilmann is 3 for 4 against Walter Johnson, but Washington wins the game over Detroit, 5 – 1. Ty Cobb is so incensed by the umpiring of Billy Evans that he challenges him to a fight. The two future Hall of Famers go at it with Cobb getting the best of Evans. George Hildebrand, the second umpire assigned to the game, reports the incident to American League president Ban Johnson. When Johnson fails to act, Commissioner Landis steps in and suspends Cobb, but allows him to continue as a non-playing manager.

1921 – Trailing by two points, the Indians come to New York for a four-game showdown. Waite Hoyt’s arm and Babe Ruth’s three doubles beat them, 4 – 2.
