Fireworks break out in the first game of a doubleheader between the Hollywood Stars and Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League. The first brawl takes place in the 6th inning when the Stars’ Frankie Kellehercharges the mound after being plunked by Angels pitcher Joe Hatten. Both players are ejected, but pinch-runner Ted Beard goes sliding into third base with spikes high moments later, and a second brawl breaks out between him and 3B Murray Franklin, as both benches empty once again. Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker, watching the game on television, intervenes by sending a brigade of officers to restore order. Four more players are ejected, and all substitutes left have to remain in the dugout for the remainder of the game.

Elmer Valo hits for the cycle as the A’s thrash the White Sox, 10 – 3.

Carl Hubbell wins his 5th straight, topping the Cardinals, 7 – 1. Mel Ott’s two homers, one a grand slam eases the way for the veteran. In the nightcap, Dick Bartell’s 9th-inning error paves the way for a squeeze bunt, and the Cards win, 3 – 2. Mort Cooper allows four hits in winning his 13th.
