NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1934 American League                Date: 6/23/1934

 

DETROIT AT WASHINGTON Tigers.......... 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 4 16 0 Nationals....... 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 - 6 15 1 Win:Burke(3-2) Loss:Fischer(3-1) Bobby Burke went the distance at Griffith Stadium where the Washington Nationals beat the Detroit Tigers 6 to 4. Washington took the lead for good in the 5th inning scoring a single run using 2 hits. Detroit threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. The victory was credited to Burke(3-2) who went the distance, allowing 4 runs. Carl Fischer(3-1) was the loser. 'This was a tough loss,' said Mickey Cochrane, 'the kind that sticks with you for awhile.' CHICAGO AT BOSTON White Sox....... 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 3 8 2 Red Sox......... 9 4 0 0 0 0 2 0 - 15 20 3 Win:Ostermueller(2-7) Loss:Gaston(4-6) Homeruns- B.Cissell(2nd) Fritz Ostermueller pitched a complete game as the Boston Red Sox ballclub embarrassed the Chicago White Sox by the count of 15 to 3. Boston wasted no time and took the lead in the first inning when they blasted Chicago for 9 runs on 7 hits. That was all Ostermueller(2-7) needed. Boston kept the scorekeepers busy in the 1st inning which saw them plate 9 runs on 7 hits and the 2nd inning when they had 4 runs on 5 hits. Boston banged out 20 on the afternoon. Milt Gaston(4-6) took the loss. Boston extended their winning streak to 6 games. 'We've really come alive lately,' Bucky Harris said. 'We won some tough games and I feel real good about this ballclub right now, and hopefully we'll continue the roll we're on.' CLEVELAND AT NEW YORK Indians......... 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 1 4 0 Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 0 Win:Pearson(8-5) Loss:Gomez(7-7) Monte Pearson allowed only 2 hits resulting in a big goose egg on the scoreboard for New York at Yankee Stadium as the Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 1 to 0. Pearson(8-5) simply dominated New York. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 2 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings lowering his ERA from 3.20 to 2.91. New York was set down quietly in the bottom of the 9th. Lefty Gomez(7-7) absorbed the loss. 'Pearson gave us exactly what we needed tonight,' Walter Johnson said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had them chasing it.'
