The Red Sox lost a tight game to New York as Ford pitched poorly at times while Smith outpitched him. Errors by Speaker and fielding miscues helped the Highlanders score, and Lewis and Engle subpar performances sealed Boston’s defeat in the late innings.
Cleotte and Tom Hughes pitched for the Highlanders as Jack Knight sparked Boston with a two base hit and a run. Hooper and Speaker also contributed as Boston built a lead, while Cicotte flurried and Smith faltered in a tense duel, with Stal’s line drive robbed and a late double steal adding to Boston’s margin in a closely fought opener.
In the first game third inning Tris Speaker advanced on a high fly to right. He scored by beating the throw to Mitchell after Stahl’s out, then overran the plate by 15 feet and touched it as the New York catcher faced away. A fan asked if he would have acted differently if tagged out or if ruled out.
A botched throw by Smith allowing Mitchell to score and tie the game. Boston threats fade in the eighth as Engle doubles and Speaker is walked. Duffy Lewis strikes out with bases loaded. Wagner advances but is ruled out for leaving second early.
In the second game Jake Stahl's fourth inning swing is described as a sacrifice strikeout that kept Mitchell from a perfect throw to Austin. Engle scored on a double steal with Speaker as the ball sailed over Austin's head, producing the Red Sox's second run.
The New York Highlanders fought hard in two games despite four regulars out. Captain Hal Chase was sick, Laporte had a bad arm, Harry Walter a broken finger, and Sweeney a troubled leg. The team showed resilience under injuries.
In a marathon game the Red Sox slugged through extra innings with Ford opening the 11th with a double and Daniels, Hemphill, Knight, Cree, and Gardner delivering key hits. A late surge fell short as Engle grounded into a final Roach force at the plate and the score remained unresolved.
Boston fans urged Duffy Lewis to switch to a fresh pair of shoes for the second game. The article notes his worn spikes and brittle irons may have caused slips and lost runs in both games, calling for better footwear to improve footing and performance.
Engle Speaker Hooper and Lord based on balls off Smith twice off Ford six. Smith struck out five times Ford struck out eight. Roach E Gardner and Knight turned a double play. Ford threw a wild pitch Mitchell had a passed ball. Time two hours twenty seven minutes. Attendance twenty eight thousand two hundred twenty one. Umpires Kerin and Connolly.
St Louis Americans defeated Worcester 3 to 0 in an exhibition game. Bailey struck out 10, Crum starred for Worcester, and a delayed steal by Stone and Criss highlighted the contest. Score by innings shows St Louis strong early hitting and solid defense.
Arthur Fromme of the Cincinnati team was given leave of absence for the remainder of the season. He will spend the rest of the summer seeking treatment for rheumatism affecting his pitching arm.

Sleepy players on both teams set a one day record by getting caught off first base four times. In the first game Charlie Wagner was nipped by Hughes to Knight, Tris Speaker fell to the same trick in the fifth, and Eddie Cicotte caught Cree in the sixth. In the second game Charlie Hemphill was picked off by Smith to Stahl in the fourth.
Philadelphia July 27 Connie Mack announced pitcher Krause will likely miss the rest of the season due to arm trouble. Exams by two specialists warned possible permanent injury if he pitched. Mack sent him home to rest leaving Plank as the lone reliable left hander after three straight defeats.
Ambie McConnell reappeared in the second game after a long absence, warmly greeted by fans. He pinch hit in an emergency and failed to connect, but his return sparks hope he will play more often as a runner or hitter to help Boston in tight contests.
The Washington Senators defeated the Philadelphia Athletics 5 to 4 in the opening game of a four game set. Poor turnout and a disrupted lineup highlighted the win as pitcher Jimmy Dygert, once a spitball ace, could not complete nine innings.
In a tense game, Washington capitalized in the eighth inning after Dygert faltered. Conroy opened with a single, Gessler walked, and a wild throw allowed runs to score. Elberfeld tripled drove in two, Plank relieved, Henry scored on a Davis error, and the Senators claimed the winning run as Dygert struggled. The Athletics’ slick defense earlier kept them close, but Washington pulled away late.
