ByBaseball

After a building a 25-6 early lead, thanks to scoring ten runs in the second inning and another 14 in the fourth, the Cubs need to hold on to defeat Philadelphia 26-23. The slugfest, which sets the major league mark for most tallies scored in one game and the most hits with a combined total of 51, ends with the Phillies leaving the bases loaded in the ninth.

In the first of a doubleheader before a sold-out Polo Grounds, the Browns beat the Yankees, 3 – 1, behind Urban Shocker. Waite Hoyt is the loser, but stops Ken Williams’ hitting streak at 28 games. George Sisler hits in his 24th straight game. In game two, the Yankees jump to a 2 – 0 lead on Babe Ruth’s 2-run triple, then extend it to 6 – 1 behind Joe Bush. The Browns close to 6 – 5, but that is it.
