At Philadelphia, New York’s thrilling 11 – 10 win over the Phils puts the Giants on top to stay. Hooks Wiltse pitches the first nine innings for New York before wilting, and Christy Mathewson relieves. In the 10th, Buck Herzog singles off Grover Alexander and Matty wins his 14th. The fireworks continue after the game when John McGraw, walking to the clubhouse with several Phillies, is belted and then jumped by several Philly fans. McGraw is cut up and Phils P Ad Brennan is identified as the instigator of the fight. After investigating, National League President Tom Lynch will suspend both McGraw and Brennan for five days, with Brennan also fined $100.

6/21/1913 – In the top of the seventh inning in Philadelphia, Les Nunamaker of the Red Sox pinch hit for pitcher Hugh Bedient. Nunamaker remained in the game catching and the new hurler, Charles Hall, entered in the eighth spot replacing starting catcher Bill Carrigan. The Sox started at the two spot in the top of the eighth inning. After Steve Yerkes made an out, five consecutive Boston players singled which scored two runs with one runner out at the plate. The next hitter should have been Hall, but Nunamaker batted out of turn and made the third out of the frame. Hooper should have started the ninth for the Red Sox but Hall batted out of turn. (They had the eighth and ninth place hitters reversed.) Once Hall made and out, Harry Hooper batted out of turn and singled. He eventually scored the winning run but the Athletics did not notice.
