The Teddys kept pace with the Obamas and the Franklins in the battle in Division A, while the X-Giants slipped below .500.
The X-Giants took a 5-4 lead into the ninth inning of the opener, but Hilton Smith allowed his first runs of the season. Pinch-hitter Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb rapped back-to-back triples, and Eddie Collins singled home Cobb for the go-ahead run. Chief Bender made it stand up.
Cobb was 5-for-5 with a double. Martin Dihigo drove in four runs for the X-Giants.
Rube Waddell was sensational in the second game, limiting the X-Giants to two singles and two walks. He struck out seven. Rube Foster had his best start of the season for the X-Giants, but a costly error by Ben Taylor resulted in four unearned tallies in the fifth inning.
Tris Speaker was 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs and two runs.
