Chief Wilson triples for his third game in a row, a 4th inning drive off Walt Dickson good for three runs. Pittsburgh beats Boston, 9 – 4.

Walter Johnson’s 16-game winning streak ends under American League rules of the time. In the second game of a doubleheader against the Browns, he relieves Tom Hugheswith one out and two on in the 7th inning of a 2 – 2 game. The two runners score on a Pete Compton single up the middle and the Nationals lose, 4 – 3. The two runs are charged to Johnson, not Hughes, giving him the defeat. Under the National League’s rules, Johnson would not be charged with the loss. After the season, AL president Ban Johnson will change the rules to conform with the senior circuit, but he will deny he does it because of this game.

1912 – The Tigers fall to Walter Johnson, 8 – 1, Big Train’s 16th win in a row. He is now 29-7.

1912 – Thomas C. Noyes, president and part owner of the Senators, dies, opening the way for Clark Griffith to eventually become club owner.

1912 – In Washington, Walter Johnson wins his American League-record 15th straight, downing Cleveland, 4 – 2. Big Train is topped in the nightcap when Washington hurler Carl Cashion tosses a 6-inning no-hitter, winning, 2 – 0. The only baserunners reach on two errors by SS George McBride. Johnson’s effort takes one hour and 55 minutes, while Cashion’s six innings finish in just 65 minutes; the game is called to allow Cleveland to catch a train to Boston. Cashion will win only 11 other games in his major league career.

In the nightcap of a doubleheader, Carl Cashion tosses a six-inning no-hitter to give the Senators a 2-0 victory over the Indians and a sweep of the twin bill at Griffith Stadium. The 21 year-old right-hander, who will not get credit for his accomplishment due to the shortened nature of the game, has an outstanding fastball, but a lack of control will limit his career to just 43 games over four seasons.
