WASHINGTON AT DETROIT Nationals....... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 2 1 Tigers.......... 8 0 1 1 0 2 0 7 - 19 21 0 Win:Rowe(20-8) Loss:Stewart(3-16) Goose Goslin had 4 hits and 4 RBI and Schoolboy Rowe pitched a 2 hit shutout at Navin Field as the Detroit Tigers embarrassed the Washington Nationals by the lopsided score of 19 to 0. The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance provided by Goslin. He doubled which was good for two runs in the 1st inning, stroked a base-hit in the 4th inning, doubled which plated a run in the 6th inning and laced a single scoring a run in the 8th inning. Detroit kept the scorekeepers busy in the 1st inning when they had 8 runs on 9 hits and the 8th inning with 7 runs on 5 hits. Detroit rapped out 21 hits for the afternoon. It was the 2nd shutout of the year for Rowe(20-8). Lefty Stewart(3-16) took the loss. When asked about his strikeout total for the game, Rowe offered, 'The fan's really got into it. It is fun to see them tally up the strikeout totals up there in the stands. Fortunately, I kept them busy this afternoon - of course, it would be all for naught without the 'W'.' NEW YORK AT CLEVELAND Yankees......... 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 4 12 2 Indians......... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 2 7 0 Win:Gomez(22-9) Loss:Weiland(10-7) Save:Deshong(4th) Homeruns- B.Ruth(24th), E.Averill(35th) Babe Ruth had 5 hits and 2 RBI at League Park as the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians in 12 innings by the count of 4 to 2. The score was tied at 2 after nine. New York came out on top in the 12th inning. Frank Crosetti got things going when he stroked a one-base hit. Red Rolfe followed and he delivered a base-hit. Ruth then banged out a single knocking in a run. After an out was recorded, George Selkirk came up and he delivered a base-hit scoring the final run of the inning. New York managed 12 in their victory. Lefty Gomez(22-9) allowed 2 runs in 11 innings, and picked up the victory. Jimmie Deshong earned his 4th save. Bob Weiland(10-7) was the loser in relief. He pitched 3 innings giving up 4 hits and 1 walk.
