The Philadelphia fans didn't appreciate the big day Klein had. He blasted a two-run home run (his 14th of the season) in the 1st inning, lashed a single in the 3rd inning and stroked a one-base hit bringing in a run in the 6th inning. Chicago lit up the scoreboard in the 3rd inning which saw them plate 3 runs on 6 hits. The Chicago offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings. Warneke(22-7) allowed 3 runs on the game.

In the 4th inning Chicago scored 2 runs with the help of 3 hits. After an out was recorded, Babe Herman* began the rally when he laced a single. Tuck Stainback stepped up next and he tripled scoring a run. Bob O'Farrell then hit a single scoring the final run of the inning. Chicago rapped out 12 hits for the afternoon. The victory was credited to Bush(13-11) who went the distance, allowing 3 runs. Phil Collins(14-13) was the loser. He got hit hard, allowing 12 hits and 3 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. 'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his best stuff,' Charlie Grimm said after the game. 'Bush did not have command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to pitch!'

New York came through with the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runs. After two outs Bill Terry keyed the rally when he drew a walk. Ott was next and he smashed a two-run homer (his 43rd of the season) making New York the winners and sending the 9,581 fans home happy. New York had a total of 7 hits for the game. Al Smith(4-7) allowed no runs in 2 innings, and picked up the victory. Ted Kleinhans(2-6) was the loser in relief. 'What a game!,' Smith said afterward. 'When we won it I almost couldn't believe it!'

New York took the lead for good in the 2nd inning scoring one runner using 3 hits. New York had 13 hits for the game and Cincinnati had 9. The victory was credited to Hal Schumacher(18-10) who went 8 and 1/3 innings, allowing 1 run. Tony Freitas(5-13) was tagged with the loss. He allowed 7 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.

PITTSBURGH AT BROOKLYN Pirates......... 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 2 0 1 - 6 13 2 Dodgers......... 2 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 7 13 5 Win:Munns(7-6) Loss:Chagnon(5-2) Homeruns- P.Waner(13th) First baseman Sam Leslie had 3 base hits and 4 RBI at Ebbetts Field where the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in 11 innings 7 to 6.

Stripp was safe on a stolen base. Al Lopez then stroked a single bringing in a run. Lopez took second on the throw. Glenn Chapman got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim. Buzz Boyle stepped into the box and was walked intentionally. Lonny Frey kept the inning going and doubled resulting in an exciting win for Brooklyn and a wild post-game celebration by the home town fans. Both teams totaled 13 on the afternoon. Les Munns(7-6) went 2 innings allowing 1 run for the win. The losing pitcher was Leon Chagnon(5-2) in relief. He pitched 2 and 2/3 innings allowing 4 hits and 1 walk.

AL Player of the Week - Red Ruffing

AL Player of the Week

Red Ruffing

"I always figured World Series games the easiest to pitch. The other team didn't know you... and on the Yankees, we always used to figure the National League champion only good enough to finish third or fourth in the American League."

-Red Ruffing

Taking the mound in today's game against Detroit was Charles "Red" Ruffing. Ruffing (HA51) broke in the big leagues as a Red Sox in 1924, but went to New York in 1930 where he was a mainstay of the Yankees' pitching staff until he left for one final season with the White Sox in 1947.

Interestingly, Ruffing peaked in the period from 1935 through 1941, although 1932 was also a fine season for him, which were the peak years of the second Yankee dynasty that won four straight World Series from 1936-1939 and then again in 1941. Although Ruffing was rarely the top pitcher, he spend many years as a "top 5 selection" and his repeated near top performances earned him a place in the Hall of Fame.

Ruffing had particularly fine post season record as his quip above suggests. He was 7-2 with a 4.08 ERA. He won 2 games in 1938 with a 1.50 ERA. Given that the Yankees World Series tended to be short affairs at this time period, this was particularly impressive performance. An interesting thing about Ruffing, notes Bill James, is that his W-L record was worse than that of his team's when he pitched for Boston and Chicago, but much better when he hurled for New York. James notes that Ruffing was in his prime in New York, but also notes that New York didn't overuse him the way the other clubs did. This was evidence, James says, that Ruffing was considered the best pitcher on their team by Boston and Chicago, despite his record with them.

Ruffing was a superb all around athlete. He hit .269 lifetime, and belted 98 doubles, 13 triples and 36 homers in 1937 at bats. In both 1930 and 1935 he was far superior to the average position player in hitting.

Ruffing was inducted into the Hall of Fame 1967.

New York set the tone of the game in the first inning scoring 5 runners on 5 hits. That scoring would be all that was needed. New York rapped out 12 hits for the afternoon. The win was credited to Gomez(23-9) who went the whole way allowing 1 run. General Crowder(6-8) ended up with the loss. He pitched 1 inning giving up 5 hits and 1 walk. BOSTON AT ST. LOUIS Red Sox......... 1 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 5 8 0 Browns.......... 0 0 0 4 0 0 1 1 - 6 7 2 Win:Hadley(10-16) Loss:Hockette(0-1) Homeruns- R.Hemsley(3rd) Bump Hadley completed the game without help from the bullpen and Rollie Hemsley homered at Sportsman's Park where the St. Louis Browns beat the Boston Red Sox by the score of 6 to 5. Hadley(10-16) had a solid outing for St. Louis. He went 9 innings allowing 8 hits and 4 walks. Boston threatened in the 9th but St. Louis was able to put down the rally. George Hockette(0-1) was charged with the loss. He pitched 8 innings and surrendered 7 hits and 1 walk. 'We didn't get the key hits when we needed them' Bucky Harris said. 'We did what we could, we just didn't pull out the win. What can you say?' PHILADELPHIA AT CHICAGO Athletics....... 0 0 4 0 5 1 0 0 0 - 10 11 2 White Sox....... 3 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 6 6 1 Win:Cascarella(8-11) Loss:Klaerner(0-1) Save:Benton(3rd) Homeruns- B.Johnson(40th) Bob Johnson smacked a grand slam as the Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Chicago White Sox by the score of 10 to 6 at Comiskey Park. Johnson had a good day at the plate. He quieted the crowd by clouting a Grand Slam (his 40th of the season) in the 3rd inning and delivered a one-base hit in the 6th inning.
