CLEVELAND AT CHICAGO Indians......... 3 0 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 - 7 13 1 White Sox....... 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 1 0 - 4 13 0 Win:Pearson(1-2) Loss:Jones(0-3) Homeruns- H.Trosky-3(6th), Z.Bonura(1st) First baseman Hal Trosky slammed 3 homeruns and had 5 RBI and Monte Pearson allowed Walter Johnson to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game at Comiskey Park where the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago White Sox 7 to 4. Trosky was a source of great heartache for the Chicago faithful all day. He just kept pounding out hits! He lofted a three-run bomb in the 1st inning, ripped a solo home run in the 4th inning and blasted a solo shot (his 6th of the season) in the 5th inning. Both teams totaled 13 hits on the afternoon. Pearson(1-2) lasted until the end allowing 4 runs for the win. Sam Jones(0-3) was the loser. He allowed 3 homeruns in 8 innings of work. 'Trosky led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,' Pearson said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my team.' NEW YORK AT WASHINGTON Yankees......... 0 1 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 - 4 8 1 Senators........ 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 - 3 8 0 Win:Ruffing(2-1) Loss:Whitehill(1-2) Red Ruffing tossed a complete game at Griffith Stadium as the New York Yankees beat the Washington Senators 4 to 3. In the 2nd inning New York went on top for good scoring one runner on 2 hits. Washington threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. The win was credited to Ruffing(2-1) who went the whole way allowing 3 runs. Earl Whitehill(1-2) was charged with the loss. Despite losing Joe Cronin was optimistic after the game. 'We'll get over this one. Sometimes the breaks fall your way, sometimes they don't. Any one of a dozen little things go different, and we come out on top.' PHILADELPHIA AT BOSTON Athletics....... 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 0 - 4 6 0 Red Sox......... 2 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 - 5 10 1 Win:Welch(1-2) Loss:Cascarella(0-1) Right fielder Moose Solters had 2 base hits and Johnny Welch completed the game without help from the bullpen as the Boston Red Sox topped the Philadelphia Athletics by a score of 5 to 4 at Fenway Park. Boston drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning as they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits. Philadelphia could do no damage in the 9th. The victory was credited to Welch(1-2) who went the distance, allowing 4 runs. Joe Cascarella(0-1) suffered the loss. By surrending 5 runs in 7 innings his ERA jumped from 5.40 to 5.87. ST. LOUIS AT DETROIT Browns.......... 2 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 - 4 7 2 Tigers.......... 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 - 3 7 0 Win:Andrews(1-0) Loss:Rowe(1-1) Save:Coffman(1st) Homeruns- H.Clift(2nd) 13,081 fans watched an exciting game at Navin Field. The St. Louis Browns topped the Detroit Tigers by the slimmest of margins, 4 to 3. St. Louis jumped out to the early lead in the first inning when they scored 2 runs on 2 hits. Detroit had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short. Ivy Andrews(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 and 2/3 innings and allowing 3 runs. Dick Coffman recorded the save, his 1st. The losing pitcher was Schoolboy Rowe(1-1).
