SABR BIO PROJECT

If you're unaware, the Society of Baseball Research (SABR) has an ongoing project to create biographies of major league baseball players.

There's plenty of opportunity for writing if you're interested. New biographies are posted daily. For instance, NY Giants pitcher Hal Schumaker, who's 19-10 with a 2.95 ERA has just been posted.

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.

Whitney led the offense for Boston. He stroked a single knocking in a run in the 2nd inning, delivered a solo blast (his 16th of the season) in the 4th inning and doubled in the 8th inning. Boston lit up the scoreboard in the 8th inning scoring 4 runs. Offensively, Boston was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings. Betts(10-13) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. Curt Davis(12-16) was given the loss. He was unable to control the Boston offense and allowed 10 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings. BROOKLYN AT NEW YORK Dodgers......... 0 1 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 3 - 7 13 1 Giants.......... 0 0 0 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 - 4 7 3 Win:Mungo(12-21) Loss:Hubbell(24-10) Homeruns- G.Watkins(3rd), R.Parmelee(4th) Left fielder Danny Taylor had 3 base hits and scored 3 times and Van Lingle Mungo completed the game without help from the bullpen as the Brooklyn Dodgers outscored the New York Giants in 10 innings 7 to 4. The score was knotted at 4 after nine innings. Brooklyn came out on top in the 10th inning. After two were out Tony Cuccinello initiated the scoring spurt when he banged out a single. Taylor stepped up next and he stroked a one-base hit. Joe Stripp then drew a walk to load the bases. Al Lopez stepped in and he doubled, and an error was also committed, clearing all three ducks off the pond. Brooklyn had a total of 13 hits for the game. Mungo(12-21), allowing 4 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Carl Hubbell(24-10) was the loser in relief. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 3 runs in 2 innings. CINCINNATI AT ST.

Red Lucas(10-9) went 8 and 2/3 innings allowing 7 runs for the win. Lucas got help from Bill Swift who was credited with his 2nd save. Jim Weaver(9-10) took the loss.
