At Cincinnati, the Reds clip the Pirates, 9 – 3, the first loss for the Bucs in nine games. The Pirates now trail the Giants by eight games. Red Lucas goes all the way for the win, as the Reds shell rookie Ralph Birkofer. After the game, Edd Roush’s old-timers defeat Buck Herzog’s Nine, 8 – 5, called after five innings on account of “tiredness.” Ninety three old timers turn out and about half take a turn at the plate. Roush’s squad includes Pat Duncan, Larry Kopf, Bill Rariden, and Rube Bressler, all stars on the 1919 Reds team. Donie Bush and Honus Wagner are the shortstops.

1933 – In the first of two games with the Braves‚ Carl Hubbell pitches 10 innings and drives in the winning run for a 2 – 0 win. He doesn’t walk a batter and never goes as deep as a 3-2 count on any hitter‚ holding the Braves to 4 hits. It is his 20th win and his 10th shutout of the year. Five of the shutouts are 1 – 0‚ a National League record. Fred Frankhouse is the hard-luck loser‚ when his mates make 2 errors in the 10th. New York then takes the nitecap‚ 5 – 3.
