In Chicago, with the score tied 3 – 3 in the 10th inning between the Sox and the Indians, umpire Brick Owens forfeits the game to Chicago, 9 – 0, because of the ‘dilatory tactics’ of the Tribe. Chicago now leads the American League by seven games. The Cleveland players protest Owens’ ruling in the 10th when, with two on and no outs, he calls Jack Graney out on a close play. The ensuing argument delays the game ten minutes with several Indians rolling on the ground and tossing their mitts. When Chicago’s first hitter, pitcher Dave Danforth, strikes out to open the bottom of the inning, Indian catcher Steve O’Neill fires the ball into CF, whereupon Owens calls the forfeit.
