When the Senators relieve with Walter Johnson, the A’s greet him with six runs in three innings to drive the “Big Train” from the mound. Johnson throws the one and only beanball of his career, a fastball at the head of Frank “Home Run” Baker, a particular nemesis of Johnson’s. The beanball misses Baker, whom Johnson calls “the most dangerous batter that I ever faced.” Baker had hit .385 against the Nats ace up till this game in 4 seasons; he’ll hit just .207 off him in the next nine years. When the dust settles, the game ends in a 9 – 9 tie.

At Griffith Stadium, Larry Doby pounds a 408-foot homer to center field, which hits the loudspeakers 35 feet high, to help the Indians top the Senators, 6 – 1. Larry’s ball bounces back onto the field and is initially declared in play. The 8th-inning three-run homer is the longest home run in the Stadium since Babe Ruth’s shot in 1922, and is the first of Doby’s four career inside-the-park homers. World War II veteran Gene Bearden makes his first start, allowing just three Nat hits. He walks four in the 9th inning to allow the lone run, as Washington finally scores after three straight shutouts.
