The Athletics regain the American League lead by beating the White Sox, 10 – 9 in 11 innings. In the inning, however, they need two singles, a runner safe on an error, and three walks to win the game as Chicago C Luke Sewell picks one runner off at second base and throws another out at third base on a steal attempt.

Before a 6 – 2 loss to the Reds in Cincinnati, the Dodgers announce that Van Lingle Mungo has been fined, suspended for three days, and given a bill for $1,500 worth of damage done to a St. Louis hotel room following a ruckus last week with teammates trying to get him to bed at four A.M. When a photographer asks to take a picture of Mungo’s black eye, the pitcher replies, “You can take it for $1,000, because that’s what it cost me to get it.”

 Phils pitcher Bucky Walters shuts out the Dodgers, 15 – 0. Freddie Fitzsimmons, routed before getting an out, is the loser. The big blow in the seven-run 1st inning is a grand slam by Pinky Whitney.

Collecting 17 hits, including eight doubles, the Cards overwhelm the Pirates, 11 – 4. Dizzy Dean breezes to his 6th win and the Cards increase their lead to 1 1/2 games. Pepper Martin scores in his 13th consecutive game, but will go runless tomorrow.

The Albany Senators sign Alabama Pitts, legendary athletic star and parolee from Sing Sing prison.

The Indians stop the Yankees, 5 – 1, with Lou Gehrig driving in the lone run for New York. For the second time in his career, Lou has driven in at least one run a game for 10 straight games.

Babe Ruth ties a major league record by hitting five homers in two games and six homers in three games when he hits a trio of round-trippers in the second game of yesterday’s doubleheader, two more in the opener of today’s twin bill, adding one more in the nightcap. Teammate Lou Gehrig also goes deep three times in the second game of the doubleheader, a 20-13 Yankee victory over the A’s at Philadelphia’s Shibe Park.

In Philadelphia, the Yankees and the Athletics continue the home run barrage as the Yankees take both games of a second straight doubleheader, 10 – 1 and 20 – 13. Babe Ruth hits a pair of home runs in the opener, as does Ben Chapman and winning pitcher George Pipgras. The Yanks score nine runs in the first two innings of the second game, but the A’s come back to tie it at 12 apiece. The Yanks win the assault, 20 – 13, as Tony Lazzeri is 4 for 4, scores five runs, and knocks in 4. Ruth hits another in the second game, while Lou Gehrig powers three round trippers to drive in eight runs. On the A’s side, Jimmie Foxx has two homers to drive in six runs. For the afternoon, the teams combine to hit 14 round trippers, a then-record 10 in the nitecap.
