Dolph Camilli’s 9th-inning homer, his second of the game, caps a four-run rally as the Phillies top the visiting Cubs, 5 – 3. Reliever Larry French, who replaces Roy Henshaw in the 9th, loses after he gives up a single to Johnny Moore off the RF wall to tie, strikes out Chuck Klein and serves up the dinger to Dolph.

In the 6th inning of a 16 – 6 Yankee win in Detroit, the Tigers’ Goose Goslin drives a ball in the gap in right center. RF Joe DiMaggio and CF Myril Hoag, in for a slumping Jake Powell, sprint for the ball and collide, the ball bounding by for an inside-the-park home run. Both players are knocked unconscious but appear unhurt: DiMaggio stays in though Hoag is replaced. Hoag will play tomorrow and collect a single, then collapse in his hotel room on the 30th with a brain clot. Hoag will be operated on successfully at Harper Hospital and will be out the rest of the season, but he’ll return to play six more years. New York wins the game on 20 hits, scoring four runs in each of the first two innings, and three apiece in the 4th and 5th. Lou Gehrig’s two doubles, single and home run number 31 with two aboard pace the visitors. Tommy Bridges is the loser while Johnny Murphy, who relieves Monte Pearson in the 4th, is credited with the win. George Selkirk adds a homer for the Yankees, who have now hit 122.
