Red Russell’s southpaw slants shut Boston last Saturday but Barrow’s Red Sox rallied in a short inning to win 3 to 1, denying manager Clarence Rowland’s plan to finish the series in one go with Danforth.
Carl Mays again shut out Chicago opponents in the latest game but allowed two hits in the seventh inning as the champions dodged a clean sheet. Danforth pitched well aside from a rough start and fourth inning, while Strunk Schang Scott and Whiteman supplied the decisive early offense with four consecutive hits in the fourth.
The text argues that during stern days, show and glitter fade in value and dependability matters. It notes that even gaudy cigars fail if workmanship or material is poor, while the old C C A Cigar, a New England favorite for 30 years, makes its point by existing without a band but still delivering.
The article recaps a rugged game where the Red Sox struggle to solve left handed pitching, with Danforth controlling Ruth and preventing fast balls. It notes upcoming challenges from the St. Louis Browns and the need to acquire a southpaw for batting practice as the Indians and Yankees commit to lefties against Barrow's lineup.
Springfield defeats New London 3 to 1 behind strong pitching by Green. Clemens, Parent, Wheat, and Champion scored for Springfield while McDermott and O Rourke led New London with multiple chances. Green went the distance with six strikeouts as Springfield stays in the pennant race.
Philadelphia notes Scott Perry was the winning pitcher in both games of a July doubleheader beating St. Louis 5 to 3 and 6 to 4. He relieved Gregg in the seventh of the first game and drove in two runs in the eighth with a bases loaded single. Gardner’s three-bagger aided the Athletics in the second game for the fifth win.
Wood hit a decisive eighth inning homer as Cleveland defeated New York 5 to 3. He added four straight hits including the homer on the Yankees grounds this season. Disputes led to two ejections as Wambsganss and ONeill argued with umpire Owens.
Arrangements are complete for the Jack Dempsey Fred Fulton bout to be held in Jersey City New Jersey on July 27. The fight will be eight rounds. Fulton departed for the East to finish training and his representative in New York sent the telegram confirming details.

The Cubs press the pennant chase while McGraw trails with 26 straight wins possible. Joe Jackson shifts to a shipyard role in Wilmington and avoids the White Sox spotlight. Miske faces Dempsey in Jersey as Britton vows to test Shevlin, with wagers and tough claims flying. Ruth’s leg scare stirs Sox hopes as White Sox head to Philadelphia. Sam Fitzpatrick joins overseas service with Knights of Columbus, and Old Timers rally for their July 28 picnic. Buck Weaver’s fielding miscues fuel Chicago hopes as Leland’s club edges toward victory.
The text confirms Scott joined the major leagues in 2014 and Weaver became a regular with Chicago in 1912. It asks if Fitricksnerkere was manager during the Sharkey Rouhlin England fight and when Everett Scotten and Weaver debuted in the big leagues.
The Brassard, a famous French bike classic, will be decided at the Revere cycle track next Wednesday night with Wiley Madonna Corry and Suter in the field.
