Detroit came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning with 2 runs. Jo-Jo White opened up the inning nicely when he drew a walk. Mickey Cochrane stepped into the batter's box and he drew a walk. Charlie Gehringer then drew a walk to load the bases. Goose Goslin came up and he drew a walk plating a run. Billy Rogell came to the plate and drew a walk giving Detroit the victory and sending the 15,524 home-town fans home happy. Detroit banged out 8 on the afternoon. The win went to Schoolboy Rowe(18-8) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Mort Flohr(1-4) absorbed the loss in relief. Cochrane was in great spirits in his post-game interview. Yet, when asked about his feelings after the thrilling comeback victory, he volunteered, 'I'll tell you this much - I know how my counterpart, Connie Mack, feels right now - and it's not very good. It's terrible when you come up on the short end of one of these!' PHILADELPHIA AT DETROIT Athletics....... 1 9 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 - 14 17 2 Tigers.......... 0 0 2 0 7 9 1 0 - 19 20 1 Win:Fischer(7-2) Loss:Lagger(1-1) Save:Hamlin(4th) Homeruns- J.Foxx-2(49th), E.Coleman(15th), H.Greenberg(19th) Third baseman Marv Owen collected 2 extra-base hits and had 5 RBI at Navin Field where the Detroit Tigers beat the Philadelphia Athletics by the score of 19 to 14. Owen had a good day at the plate. He tripled emptying the bases in the 5th inning, doubled in the 6th inning and slapped a one-base hit scoring two baserunners in the 6th inning. Detroit kept the scorekeepers busy in the 5th inning when they had 7 runs on 4 hits and the 6th inning which saw them plate 9 runs on 7 hits. Philadelphia scored in 5 different innings, but their shaky pitching kept them from victory. The win was credited to Carl Fischer(7-2) who went 5 innings allowing 4 runs. Fischer got relief help from Luke Hamlin who gained credit for his 4th save. The losing pitcher was Ed Lagger(1-1) in relief. NEW YORK AT CHICAGO Yankees......... 1 0 0 2 2 0 0 0 2 - 7 10 2 White Sox....... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 - 3 7 0 Win:Deshong(9-6) Loss:Tietje(5-12) Homeruns- B.Ruth(22nd) At Comiskey Park the New York Yankees easily handled the league door-mat Chicago White Sox by the score of 7 to 3.

The highlight belonged to Harlond Clift who thrilled the crowd when he lofted a three-run bomb (his 8th of the season). St. Louis had a total of 7 hits for the game. For Blaeholder(9-17) it was his 2nd shutout this year. Earl Whitehill(15-12) was hit with the loss. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 5 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings. 'I thought it was my best performance in a long time,' said Blaeholder. 'I had good command early in the game. I had my control and composure and everything went well.'

WASHINGTON AT ST. LOUIS Nationals....... 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 4 14 0 Browns.......... 0 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 5 14 0 Win:Andrews(5-7) Loss:Stewart(3-15) The St. Louis Browns nipped the Washington Nationals in 11 innings 5 to 4 at Sportsman's Park in a hard fought contest.

Chicago went ahead for good in the 3rd inning plating an isolated run using 3 hits. New York threatened in the 9th but Chicago was able to put down the rally. The victory went to Warneke(20-7) who went the distance allowing 2 runs. The loss was charged to Carl Hubbell(20-8). Bill Terry was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one. That is what really ticks me off!'
