CHICAGO AT CLEVELAND White Sox....... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 - 1 3 0 Indians......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 5 0 Win:Tietje(7-13) Loss:Harder(16-9) Les Tietje threw a complete game shutout at League Park where the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians by the score of 1 to 0. Tietje(7-13) was in control of the game from the outset. He surrendered only 5 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings. Cleveland threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. The losing pitcher was Mel Harder(16-9). He pitched 9 innings and surrendered just 3 hits and no walks. NEW YORK AT WASHINGTON Yankees......... 1 1 0 0 5 4 0 0 0 - 11 16 0 Nationals....... 1 0 1 0 1 0 4 0 1 - 8 13 0 Win:Broaca(15-7) Loss:Cohen(0-3) Save:Macfayden(2nd) Ben Chapman had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the New York Yankees defeated the Washington Nationals by the score of 11 to 8 at Griffith Stadium. Chapman was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided much of the offense for the visitors. He doubled in the 2nd inning, laced a base-knock in the 3rd inning, tripled which was good for two runs in the 5th inning and doubled resulting in a run in the 6th inning. Washington had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. The win went to Johnny Broaca(15-7) who allowed 8 runs in 8 and 2/3 innings. Danny Macfayden recorded the save, his 2nd. Syd Cohen(0-3) was hit with the loss. He was unable to control the New York offense and allowed 13 hits and 5 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings. NEW YORK AT WASHINGTON Yankees......... 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 3 1 - 8 12 2 Nationals....... 2 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 - 5 8 2 Win:Macfayden(2-8) Loss:Whitehill(15-14) Save:Deshong(5th) Homeruns- M.Hoag(2nd), R.Van Atta(2nd), J.Stone(5th) Jimmie Deshong closed it out for New York as the New York Yankees defeated the Washington Nationals 8 to 5 at Griffith Stadium. New York came up with the deciding runs in the 8th inning scoring 3 runs using 3 hits. Babe Ruth led off the inning for New York when he drew a walk. Don Heffner next to the plate and he stroked a single. Heffner took second on the throw. Frank Crosetti then would hit into a fielders choice which plated a run. Red Rolfe stepped in and he reached on an error scoring another run. After an out was recorded, Lou Gehrig came up and he lined a one-base hit scoring the final run of the inning. For the game New York out-hit Washington 12 to 8. The winning pitcher was Danny Macfayden(2-8) who allowed no runs in 1 and 1/3 innings. Deshong was credited with his 5th save. Earl Whitehill(15-14) took the loss in relief.
