At Detroit, Marty McManus singles in two runs in the 9th to lead the Tigers to a 3 – 2 win over the Red Sox. Fats Fothergill goes hitless for the first time this season to end his 18-game hitting streak.

Chicago’s Grover Cleveland Alexander beats the Giants, 6 – 4, with George McQuillan taking the loss. It is Alex’s last win in a Cubs uniform.

The Yankees score seven in the 2nd but lose to Detroit, 14 – 10, knocking themselves out of the lead; Washington moves into first.

Every National League city will have a Golden Jubilee Day. The first, between two of the original teams left from the 1876 season, at Boston, sees former Boston players from 1876 on hand. The Braves beat Chicago, 5 – 2.

Hasty makes wasty as Cleveland hits a major league record-tying four triples in the 5th off the A’s Bob Hasty and roll over Philadelphia, 14 – 4. George Uhle is the winner.

Sam Breadon buys a controlling interest of 72% in the St. Louis Cardinals. He and Branch Rickey, who owns the rest of the stock, will combine to create one of baseball’s most successful operations. Breadon demotes Rickey to vice-president, but allows him to remain as field manager.

The Yankees pound the Red Sox, 10 – 3, scoring all of their runs in the 4th inning. Sixteen Yanks come to the plate in the frame.

When the Senators relieve with Walter Johnson, the A’s greet him with six runs in three innings to drive the “Big Train” from the mound. Johnson throws the one and only beanball of his career, a fastball at the head of Frank “Home Run” Baker, a particular nemesis of Johnson’s. The beanball misses Baker, whom Johnson calls “the most dangerous batter that I ever faced.” Baker had hit .385 against the Nats ace up till this game in 4 seasons; he’ll hit just .207 off him in the next nine years. When the dust settles, the game ends in a 9 – 9 tie.

The White Sox beat Washington, 7 – 6, snapping Walter Johnson’s five-game win streak. Johnson gives up two two-run home runs, one to Harry Lord in the 1st and another to Ping Bodie in the 5th. A Johnson fastball breaks the arm of 3B Lee Tannehill, an injury that will hamper the infielder’s throwing ability and end the career of the 10-year veteran. Sox starter Joe Benz leaves with an injury after pitching 1 1/3 inning. Ed Walsh pitches the next 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs, and Frank Lange allows the same in his two innings.
