Boston loses a pair – and the four-game series -to the Browns, 2 – 1 and 11 – 4, and drops out of first place. The Indians take over first with a 12 – 1 drubbing of the Senators. The new issue of The Sporting News headline reads “‘I’ll be Nice if I Can,’ says Ossie Vitt of Tribe Truce.”

On June 20, Boston loses a pair – and the four-game series -to the Browns, 2 – 1 and 11 – 4, and drops out of first place. The Indians take over first with a 12 – 1 drubbing of the Senators. The new issue of The Sporting News headline reads “‘I’ll be Nice if I Can,’ says Ossie Vitt of Tribe Truce.”

The Yankees lose to the White Sox, 1 – 0, in 11 innings, their 6th straight loss, then protest a “catch” by Sox LF Moose Solters, contending he dropped the ball in the 2nd inning when he was reaching for his cap. Umpire John Quinn apparently missed the error and the protest is upheld. The game will be replayed September 18, but, for several years, all of today’s records, including Monte Pearson’s loss and Johnny Rigney’s win, will count. It is the first time since 1919 that the Yankees have been shut out in extra innings by one pitcher: they lost on May 19, 1935 in extra innings to two pitchers, Lefty Stewart and Lloyd Brown.
