Tigers Win As Rivals All Lose! Detroit ball club 1/2 game out of first; Foxx is tied for first in hitting, keeping triple crown hopes alive; Pennock "exhausted" say doctors - may not be able to join team on final road trip*

Tigers Win 3-2 Duel in Philadelphia

Bridges holds of Foxx, A's for narrow win

White Sox Cool Off Red Hot Yankees, 8-2

Simmons has big day at plate for ChiSox

Red Sox Lose Narrow Game to Cleveland, 5-4

Pennock ineffective as starter for Boston

Nats Win Over Browns, 9-7

Washington team, once contenders, now struggles to stay north of .500

* In reality, Herb Pennock did not pitch after August, and Hall of Fame researchers tell me its unlikely he joined the team for their month long September road trip (!). In real life, Boston was out of it, so this would make sense. Had Boston been in the thick of it though, it's likely Pennock would have continued. I've therefore decided that he will travel with the team in September. Because he has already reached his historical innings pitched, though, he will be used very sparingly.

'I just wanted to give my team a chance to win.' said Russell, 'I got burned on a couple of pitches. But we won the game, and that's all that matters.'

Bucky Harris was subdued when questioned after the game, 'Sure, this kind of loss takes a while to get over, but heck, we're all professionals. We've been through this many times - it's the nature of the game. We'll be fine - as for me - I'll be ready to go again tomorrow!' CHICAGO AT NEW YORK White Sox....... 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 3 3 - 8 12 0 Yankees......... 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 2 6 1 Win:Gaston(5-12) Loss:Deshong(7-6) Homeruns- A.Simmons(15th), B.Ruth(19th) Left fielder Al Simmons connected with a 'big fly' and had 5 RBI and Milt Gaston was able to finish what he started and was credited with a complete game as the Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Yankees by a score of 8 to 2 at Yankee Stadium.
