Record Day in American League as Home Runs Surge
May 16 saw seven homers in the American League led by a seven-homer day in the Browns Athletics game at St Louis. Tyrus Cobb hit his first homer of the season in St Louis, recalling his 1892 burst. Cardinals turn to a new double play combo, They Know to Fish to Bottomley, after 42 double plays in 31 games. Dick Spalding, former semipro, becomes Stuffy McInnis left fielder. Frank O’Rourke’s 451 major league games end with a call to the show. Ray Schalk uses a first-base shift, Bud Clancy and Earl Sheely pair against southpaws. Lazzeri’s 22-game errorless run ends with three miscues in seven games. O’Farrell stars for Cardinals but arm troubles force bench. Pirates seek a left-handed ace as Don Songer moves to the Giants. Emil Yue and Shire Cyengios still seek their first wins.
