The big moment was provided by Fred Schulte who silenced Navin Field as he smacked a three-run homer (his 2nd of the season). Washington totaled 9 on the afternoon. Whitehill(13-5) got the victory, allowing 2 runs for the game. Tommy Bridges(9-9) suffered the loss. He allowed 5 runs and 9 hits in 8 innings.

The game was won by Chicago with a run in the 9th inning. Zeke Bonura reached on an error. Luke Appling followed and he delivered a single. After an out was recorded, Marty Hopkins came to the plate and smacked a single resulting in an exciting win for Chicago and a raucous post-game celebration by the home town fans. Chicago had only 6 hits for the game. Wyatt(4-4) was the winner allowing 3 runs for the game. Herb Pennock(3-1) was hit with the loss in relief. He was a hard-luck loser as he did not allow an earned run in his 2 innings of work. NEW YORK AT CLEVELAND Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 2 - 6 11 0 Indians......... 0 0 0 3 0 0 2 0 0 - 5 12 0 Win:Van Atta(2-6) Loss:Brown(4-8) Homeruns- L.Gehrig(26th), J.Vosmik-2(7th) In a thriller the New York Yankees staged a dramatic comeback then held on to win over the Cleveland Indians by a score of 6 to 5 at League Park. New York came up with the deciding runs in the top of the 9th inning with 2 runs utilizing 2 base hits. Jack Saltzgaver led off and started the rally when he laced a one-base hit. Babe Ruth stepped up next and he doubled which scored a run. After another out, Bill Dickey stepped up to the plate and he hit a deep fly scoring the final run of the inning. New York rapped out 11 hits for the afternoon. Russ Van Atta(2-6) went 3 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Lloyd Brown(4-8) was the losing pitcher in relief. He surrendered 2 runs and 2 hits in 1/3 of an inning. After the game, it took a long while before Walter Johnson emerged from his office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood this afternoon, as I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more light-hearted over in the New York locker room.' PHILADELPHIA AT ST. LOUIS Athletics....... 3 1 2 2 0 0 0 0 2 - 10 13 0 Browns.......... 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 1 5 0 Win:Benton(8-6) Loss:Hadley(4-11) Homeruns- J.Foxx(33rd), F.Hayes(4th) Al Benton came through with a solid 9 innings as the Philadelphia Athletics beat the St. Louis Browns by a score of 10 to 1.

Philadelphia finished with 13 hits in the victory. Benton(8-6) allowed 1 run on the game. The losing pitcher was Bump Hadley(4-11). He was hit hard and gave up 11 hits and 6 walks in 8 innings. 'Benton pitched a gem of a game', Rogers Hornsby recounted. 'He kept our batters off balance the entire game.'
