ByThis Day in Baseball

Lefty Grove wins his 24th game, replacing starter Tim McKeithan after four innings and the A’s leading, 8 – 3. The final score is 11 – 4, with General Crowder taking the loss. But Grove’s win is tainted. The Athletics “contrived” to give Grove the sure win, so that he could finish the season with more wins than National League star Carl Hubbell, who will finish with 23. American League President Will Harridge will reverse the official scorer’s decision next week and give the win to McKeithan, but the league eventually returns the win to Grove.
