Philadelphia erupted with the game winning runs in the 9th inning scoring 2 runs on 3 hits. Eric McNair got things going when he stroked a base-hit. Doc Cramer followed and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. Johnson then delivered a single plating a run. Jimmie Foxx came up and he drew a walk. One out later, Ed Coleman stepped up to the plate and he doubled resulting in an exciting win for Philadelphia and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. Both teams totaled 13 on the afternoon. Roy Mahaffey(2-7) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Wes Ferrell(3-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed 12 hits and 2 walks in 8 and 1/3 innings. Connie Mack was all smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim there for a while, but our guys never gave up - and neither did our fans - they kept cheering us on. What a sweet win!' CLEVELAND AT CHICAGO Indians......... 2 0 2 0 1 1 0 1 1 - 8 15 1 White Sox....... 0 0 0 2 0 2 0 2 0 - 6 13 1 Win:Hudlin(4-5) Loss:Earnshaw(5-9) Save:Lee(2nd) Homeruns- E.Averill(19th), O.Hale(5th), Z.Bonura-2(16th) Second baseman Odell Hale hit a homerun at Comiskey Park where the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox 8 to 6.

The highlight belonged to Hal Trosky who quieted the home crowd when he doubled which was good for two runs. Cleveland dominated offensively as they scored in 6 different innings. The win went to Willis Hudlin(4-5) who allowed 6 runs in 7 innings. Thornton Lee earned his 2nd save. George Earnshaw(5-9) was the losing pitcher. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 10 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings. 'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Hudlin said, 'this was one of those times.'
