Day of sparkling baseball across both leagues
A packed slate of twelve games produced standout feats. George Watkins of the St. Louis Cardinals tied the modern single game home run mark with three, powering a 4 2 victory over the Phillies in the second game and helping the Cards sweep the day. Wiley Moore dazzled for the Boston Red Sox in a 7 0 win over the Indians, Ray Benge wore down and the Sox capitalized. Bill Sweeney nearly tied the all time putout mark with 21 as his first base workload stood out. The Giants and Cubs split at the Polo Grounds, while Brooklyn stunned Pittsburgh 8 4 and 3 5 to move into the first division. The Braves recovered to win the second game of a doubleheader 11 6 after a 8 5 loss. The Athletics lost to Wallace Hebert and the Cardinals, while Goslin’s home runs helped the Senators. Babe Ruth’s 15th homer helped the Yankees sweep the White Sox 10 3.
