New York scores three runs in each of the first two innings against Bill Dineen. Jack Chesbro (35-8) holds on for a 6 – 4 win, his 7th win in a row. New York briefly takes over 1st place. But Cy Young tops New York, 4 – 2, in the nitecap, beating Ned Garvin, recently acquired from Brooklyn. The two teams complete their three doubleheaders at 2-2-2.
