Cubs Hold Off Cards in Narrow Late-Game Win
Boston ace Dave Ferriss was less effective than usual as he pitched the Red Sox past Philadelphia 7-8 at Shibe Park, while a 11-hit onslaught powered Teddy to help win. Feller failed to secure his 22nd win as Dinny Trout blanked Cleveland 1-0 in Detroit. Frankie Hayes drove in two for Edgar Shuth in a 3-2 opener win, and Taft Wright delivered a ninth inning single in a four-hitter loss for Orval Grove at St. Louis.
