NEWSPAPER GAME STORIES FOR 1934 American League                Date: 7/24/1934







 

BOSTON AT DETROIT Red Sox......... 4 3 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 - 10 12 1 Tigers.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 8 0 Win:Ostermueller(5-8) Loss:Bridges(9-10) In a one-sided affair the Boston Red Sox batters pounded the Detroit Tigers pitchers for 10 runs while Fritz Ostermueller(5-8), with relief help from Johnny Welch, contained Detroit. Boston took the lead off Tommy Bridges in the first inning as they scored 4 runs on 4 base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Ostermueller and Boston. That was all the run support Ostermueller required. Boston finished with 12 hits while Detroit ended up with 8. Bridges(9-10) took the loss. With this win, Boston has a 54-37 record. They have been 7-3 lately. With the loss, the Detroit ballclub's record is 52-37. NEW YORK AT ST. LOUIS Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 3 - 5 10 2 Browns.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 - 7 8 2 Win:McAfee(3-2) Loss:Ruffing(9-6) Homeruns- J.Burns(9th) In a good matchup it was the St. Louis Browns 7, the New York Yankees 5 at Sportsman's Park. St. Louis scored all of the necessary runs in the 7th inning when they exploded for 7 runs on 6 hits. The big moment was provided by Jack Burns who electrified Sportsman's Park when he brought the hometown folks to their feet with a Grand Slammer (his 9th of the season). New York had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. The win went to Bill McAfee(3-2) who allowed 3 runs in 3 innings. Red Ruffing(9-6) ended up with the loss. He gave up 7 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings of work. 'Some losses are harder to take than others' Joe McCarthy lamented after the game. 'This was one of them.' PHILADELPHIA AT CLEVELAND Athletics....... 4 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 - 6 9 0 Indians......... 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 5 0 Win:Cain(10-8) Loss:Hudlin(5-9) Homeruns- J.Foxx(35th) Sugar Cain went 9 strong innings as the Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Cleveland Indians by the score of 6 to 1 at League Park. Jimmie Foxx was a one-man wrecking crew. He launched a Grand Slam homerun (his 35th of the season) in the 1st inning, tripled scoring two baserunners in the 5th inning and lined a single in the 7th inning. Philadelphia totaled 9 on the afternoon. Cain(10-8) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. Willis Hudlin(5-9) was given the loss. 'I felt great out there today' Foxx said. 'I was seeing the ball perfectly, and I was right on it with my swing. WASHINGTON AT CHICAGO Nationals....... 0 0 0 2 1 0 1 0 1 - 5 13 0 White Sox....... 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 2 - 6 15 0 Win:Gallivan(1-6) Loss:Whitehill(13-6) Homeruns- J.Gill(3rd), A.Simmons(11th) In a thrilling finish the Chicago White Sox won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Washington Nationals by the count of 6 to 5. Chicago erupted with the game winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runs utilizing 4 base hits. After an out was recorded, Ed Madjeski started the attack as he lined a one-base hit. One out later, George Caithamer stepped up to the plate and he stroked a single. Evar Swanson then doubled which scored a run. Marty Hopkins was up next and he drew a walk. Al Simmons stepped into the box and doubled giving Chicago the victory and sending the 2,108 home-town fans home happy. A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the lead change 5 times. Phil Gallivan(1-6) went 1/3 of an inning allowing no runs for the victory. Earl Whitehill(13-6) was charged with the loss. He pitched 8 and 2/3 innings allowing 14 hits and no walks.
