Browns southpaw Hub Pruett, who has fanned Babe Ruth 9 of 10 times over the season, is reached for a home run by the Bambino, but he still beats the Yankees, 5 – 1. One day after being clubbed on the head with an empty bottle, Yankee CF Whitey Witt receives an ovation, but the partisan crowd in CF is quick to wave white hankies in the 8th inning for Yanks pinch-hitter Norm McMillan. Police make them stop. George Sisler has a single to extend his hitting streak to 41 games.
