Series 11: Quakers take two of three form Orators
Quakers 21-12, Orators 17-16
Game One: Quakers 2, Orators 1
WP: Aldridge (3-0)
LP: Davis (0-4)
Game Two: Quakers 6, Orators 5
WP: Jacobs (2-0)
LP: Wingard (1-4)
Save: Keen (5)
HR: Greenberg (8)
Game Three: Orators 6, Quakers 3
WP: Sutton (5-2)
LP: Lyons (5-3)
Save: Vangilder (3)
Guilford took the series despite totalling just four extra-base hits in the three games.
Vic Aldridge threw a five-hit complete game in the opener to outduel Dixie Davis. Neither team scored until the ninth inning, when Rabbit Maranville led off with a walk. Aldridge bunted him to second, and Max Carey singled to put runners on first and third. Johnny Evers singled home Aldridge with Carey taking third, and Hank Greenberg plated Carey with a sac fly. That extra run was needed when Kiki Cuyler and Heine Manush started the bottom of the ninth with base hits; each moved up on a pair of groundouts, but Manush was stranded on third.
Guilford slapped Ernie Wingard around for six runs in the first six innings of the second game, climaxed by Greenberg's two-run homer in the sixth. Elmer Jacobs shut out the Orators through five innings, but Ortonville strung together four hits and a hit batter in the sixth to make it 6-3. Sheriff Blake allowed two runs in the seventh on two walks and a single as the Orators pulled to within a run, but Vic Keen tossed a perfect ninth to nail down the win.
The finale was all Ortonville. The Orators scored a pair of runs in the first inning off Ted Lyons, with Cuyler hitting a triple. Manush was thrown out at the plate by Carey to end the inning as he tried to score from first on Jim O'Rourke's double. Ortonville added three more in the second on three singles and a double. The Quakers couldn't dent Don Sutton until there were two outs in the ninth, when Maranville and pinch-hitter George Grantham hit back-to-back doubles and Carey singled home Grantham. Hub Pruett relieved but got no outs: Evers and Greenberg singled for a run, and Larry Doby walked to fill the bases. Elam Vangilder entered with the tying run on base and popped up Tony Perez, who went hitless for the series.
Pitcher availability: For the Quakers, Sheriff Blake pitched two innings in each of the last two games and should sit at least one game. Guy Bush is still out one game. All other Guilford relievers are fully rested. For the Orators, Vangilder has faced one hitter in each of the last two games; he's available for their next game. Pruett faced three hitters and will be regarded as having pitched an inning. All other Ortonville relievers are fully rested.
Projected rotations: Quakers -- Faber-Kauffman-Aldridge-Lyons-Faber-Jacobs. Orators -- Jenkins-Shocker-Davis-Sutton-Jenkins-Wingard.

The Polo Grounds was a sluggers paradise as the two teams combined for 48 runs and 25 extra-base hits (including seven homers) in the three-game series.
The first game set the tone early, with the visiting Rams scoring three runs in the first inning.

Wayland Dean ate four innings while giving up another five runs. Hack Wilson scored four times and drove in four. Elmer Flick scored three times and Phil Rizzuto, Earle Combs and Joe Sewell twice apiece. Rizzuto also drove in four runs.
Raymond held a 6-0 lead going into the bottom of the fourth inning of the second game, with Rizzuto driving in three of the tallies. But Fordham got one in the bottom of the fourth and four more in the fifth. Flick's two-run double opened the Rams' lead to 8-5 after six innings, but Nellie Fox's error in the bottom of the eighth helped the Flashes score four times off Earl Whitehill to take the lead, and Claude Jonnard threw a perfect ninth to secure the comeback win. Joe Medwick had three doubles for the winners; he drove in three. Fred Lindstrom scored three times. For the Rams, Combs had four runs and Frank Chance three.
Burleigh Grimes had the series' one quality start; Ol' Stubblebeard allowed eight hits and two runs in seven innings for Fordham. Chick Hafey had a two-run homer in the fourth to tie the game, and the Rams scored three in the seventh off Gaylord Perry to take the lead.

Series 11: Black Caps take two of three from Orioles
Orioles 11-22, Black Caps 15-16
Game One: Black Caps 7, Orioles 2
WP: Mathis (2-1)
LP: Palmer (2-4)
HR: Pennington (6)
Game Two: Orioles 4, Black Caps 3
WP: Watt (2-0)
LP: Cooper (0-2)

Game Three: Black Caps 6, Orioles 5 (10 innings)
WP: Williams (2-3)
LP: Watt (2-1)
HR: Radcliff (2), F Robinson (13), Powell (7), Palm (5)
Call it the series of situational hitting: There were five sacrifice flies in the three games, including two game-winners.
The opener was an easy win for Lincoln Park. The two teams exchanged sac flies in the second inning, but the Black Caps scored twice in the third off Jim Palmer and two more in the sixth, one of them when Palmer was called for a balk with the bases loaded. Verdell Mathis went seven innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks. Art Pennington was 4-for-5 with a homer, a double, two runs and two RBIs.
Frank Robinson's two run homer in the fourth inning gave the Orioles a 2-0 lead in the second game. Chico Salmon hit a pinch-hit shot in the eighth to make the score 3-1. Buck O'Neil tripled home two runs in the top of the ninth off Eddie Watt to tie the game, but the Orioles got three singles and a sac fly from Mark Belanger off Andy Cooper in the bottom of the inning for the win.
The finale was a back-and-forth affair. Lincoln Park scored two in the first inning off Dave McNally' Baltimore got one back in the bottom of the inning. Alec Radcliff and Spoony Palm hit solo homers in the third and fourth innings for a 4-1 lead. Boog Powell got the Orioles to within one run with a two-run homer off starter Rube Currie in the fifth, and Frank Robinson tied it with a solo homer off Bill Drake in the seventh. Salmon had a pinch-hit double off Hilton Smith in the eighth and scored on Don Buford's double to give the Orioles the lead, but in the top of the ninth pinch hitter Vic Harris singled off Watt, Bonnie Serrell doubled and Neil Robinson tied it with a sac fly. In the top of the 10th, Jerry Benjamin singled and went to third on Pennington's single, and Palm brought him in with yet another sac fly. Tom Williams went two innings for the win.
Pitcher availability: For the Black Caps, Currie sits three to relieve, four to start. Cockrell sits two to relieve, three to start. Mathis sits one to relieve, two to start. Williams and Smith sit one. Drake pitched one inning in the finale. For the Orioles, Watt sits one game. Hall pitched two innings in the finale.

The X-Giants took sizable leads in both games, but only got one win out of it.
Carl Hubbell yielded five runs in the first two innings of the opener as the X-Giants peppered him for nine hits in the two frames. But the screwball specialist choked off all subsequent attempted rallies and went the distance for his sixth win.
Joe DiMaggio hit a three-run homer in the third off Rube Foster; Foster had retired the first two batters but then gave up four runs. DiMaggio added a two-run single in the fourth to put the Franklins ahead to stay.
John Donaldson sparkled in the second game, shutting the potent Franklins down for seven innings, by which time the X-Giants had put up four runs against Bob Feller. The Franklins did rise up for three runs in the eighth, but Hilton Smith tossed a perfect ninth to finish things.

Series 11: Obamas take two of three from Kennedys
Obamas 15-12, Kennedys 13-13
Pitcher use: Johnson, Marichal and Niekro need one game; Ryan and Seaver need two; Nichols and Carlton need three.
Game One: Obamas 6, Kennedys 5
WP: Johnson (4-2)
LP: Marichal (1-4)

HR: Mantle (9), Schmidt (7)
--
Game One was essentially decided with a five-run third inning by the Obamas, highlighted by a three-run homer from Jimmie Foxx. One of the runs was unearned.
Other than that inning, Juan Marichal pitched quite well — just three hits in the other five innings. Frank Robinson's eighth-inning homer off Phil Niekro gave the Obamas enough margin to withstand three Kennedy scores in the seventh and eighth innings.
Game Two was dominated by Tom Seaver, who allowed just four hits through eight innings and fanned 11. He weakened in the ninth and needed help from Rollie Fingers, who entered with the bases loaded and one out and escaped with just a run scored. Willie McCovey's two-run homer in the first highlighted a three-run rally.
As good as Seaver was in Game Two, Kid Nichols was in Game Three — a four-hit shutout. Steve Carlton was a hard-luck loser; Mickey Mantle's two-run homer in the first came after Johnny Bench dropped his pop foul, which would have been the third out of the inning. Mike Schmidt hit a two-run homer in the sixth to close the scoring.

The fast-sinking Ikes have now lost five in a row, while the Teddys are pushing toward the top of Division A.
The Ikes jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first game against Pete Alexander, as Ernie Bakes drilled his 10th homer of the season in the second inning. Warren Spahn held that lead into the seventh, when Shoeless Joe Jackson tied it with a pinch-hit three-run homer.
Eppa Rixey faced just nine men in his three innings of relief, and the Teddys scored twice in the top of the ninth against Bob Lemon, with Honus Wagner contributing a two-run single.
The Teddys never trailed in Game Two, plating two runs in the first inning and three more (one unearned) in the third. Tris Speaker had four RBIs, and Eddie Collins was never retired (3-for-3 with two walks and a run scored.)
Christy Mathewson hit a rough patch in the fourth, when Ted Williams' homer highlighted a three-run rally, but Big Six steadied until the ninth, when the Ikes loaded the bases with no outs. Chief Bender entered and induced a double play grounder from Duke Snider to blunt the rally and then popped up Williams to end it.
Game Three was an affair of crooked numbers and zeros. Robin Roberts was tagged for four runs in the first and three more in the seventh, while Rube Waddell allowed three runs in the first himself (two unearned). Three of the four runs the Ikes scored came in on errors.
For the series, Ty Cobb was 8-for-15 with two doubles and two runs scored. Speaker had six RBIs. Collins was 6-for-11 with three runs.

Series 11: Crawfords take two of three from Homestead
Homestead 16-10, Crawfords 16-11
Pitcher use: Rogan and D. Brown need three games, Paige and Trent need two games, Manning, Matlock and B. Foster need one. Salmon pitched 1.1 innings combined in the last two games.

---
Homestead needed a furious rally late in the third game of this showdown to avoid a sweep and to stay -- by the slimmest of margins -- atop Division B.
Oscar Charleston's three-run bomb -- back by John Beckwith's two-run shot -- powered the Crawfords in the opener. Bill Foster allowed just four hits in his complete game win.
The Crawfords score five runs in the last three innings of the second game to turn a 4-2 deficit into a 7-6 win. Ted Trent allowed four runs in the second but followed that with five shutout frames.
Homestead trailed 5-1 in the eighth inning of the finale to Bullet Joe Rogan, but banged out six hits and two walks against Rogan and Leon Day to take a 7-5 lead, then added two more in the ninth off Day. The relief corps of William Bell, Leroy Matlock and Henry Salmon bent -- each allowed two baserunners in their inning of work -- but didn't break -- none allowed a run. Charleston was not only 0-for-5, he struck out all five times.
Alejandro Oms of the Crawfords was 9-for-15 for the series with six runs, three RBIs, two doubles, a triple and a homer. Teammate Ray Dandridge opened the series 0-for-7 but finished with a 5-for-7 spurt that included the game winning single of Game Two.

Charleston was not only 0-for-5, he struck out all five times.
Alejandro Oms of the Crawfords was 9-for-15 for the series with six runs, three RBIs, two doubles, a triple and a homer. Teammate Ray Dandridge opened the series 0-for-7 but finished with a 5-for-7 spurt that included the game winning single of Game Two.

Hilldale broke a six-game losing streak with a comeback win the finale, but remains in the cellar of Division B.
Cy Young outdueled Cannonball Dick Redding in a dandy pitching duel in the opener. Sam Thompson took advantage of a Willie Wells error to hit a two-run homer; that was enough of Young.
Young went the distance, scattering two hits and five walks to stake an early claim of pitcher of the series honors. Redding wasn't much worse, allowing six hits and two walks.
The second game turned on another Hilldale error, this one by Turkey Stearnes. His first-inning boot set up a four-run (all unearned) outburst that gave Mickey Welch plenty of cushion.
Smokey Joe Williams allowed five runs in eight innings, but only one was earned. The Garfields stole four bases off him, two of them in the four-run first. Welch scattered seven hits and walked none.
The Garfields had a 5-2 lead in the fourth inning of the finale, but Hilldale chipped away and tied it in the eighth at five. Thompson homered in top of the tenth to put the Garfields on the verge of a sweep, but with two outs in the tenth, John Clarkson hit Wells with a pitch, walked Newt Allen and allowed a game-ending triple to Judy Johnson.
For the series, Thompson was 7-for-13 with two homers, a double, a walk, a steal, five runs and three RBIs.
