Series 20: Quakers take three of four from Black Caps

Game One: Quakers 5, Black Caps 3
WP: Lyons (9-5)
LP: Holland (6-5)

Game Two: Quakers 6, Black Caps 3
WP: Faber (11-4)
LP: Williams (2-4)

HR: Blackwell (5)

Even with the pennant secured, the Quakers kept winning despite going homerless in the four game set.

Lincoln Park opened the series with a three-run first inning off Ted Lyons, getting doubles from Charles Blackwell and Art Pennington. Two of the runs were unearned. Lyons then kept the home team off the board the rest of the way, finishing with a nine-hitter. Meanwhile the Quakers got two in the third before tying it in the sixth and taking the lead in the seventh. Max Carey scored two runs and drove in one for Guilford; he also stole a base.

Alec Radcliff hit a two-run homer in the first for the Black Caps, who once again opened with a three-run inning. The Quakers waited until the fourth to break through against Tom Williams; in that inning they got doubles from Carey. Hank Greenberg Larry Doby and Rick Ferrell as they scored four times to take the lead. Guilford added two more in the ninth. Greenberg had three RBIs and Doby two; Carey again scored twice and Ferrell had a pair of doubles.

The Quakers hit four triples in the third game of the series. Carey and Greenberg each had three-baggers in the first inning, Doby tripled in a pair of runs in the third, and Joe Tinker had an RBI triple in the ninth. Gilford also had three doubles. Carey again scored two runs, while Doby drove in three. Greenberg and Rabbit Maranville each had three hits. Tony Kaufmann went the distance on the mound, scattering five hits.

Blackwell's leadoff homer in the bottom of the ninth of the finale off Guy Bush salvaged one game for Lincoln Park. Guilford started Vic Keen, normally their closer, and he allowed a pair of unearned runs in eight innings. But Bill Holland (five innings) and Webster McDonald (three innings) allowed just two runs themselves over the first eight innings. Bill Drake tossed a scoreless ninth and got the win when Blackwell, the first and only man Bush faced, homered.

Series 20: Flashes take two of three from Orators

Flashes 32-28, Orators 27-33

Game One: Flashes 3, Orators 1

Fordham secured second place and came one bad inning from sweeping the Orators.

Joe Medwick and Jim Bottomley hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning of the opener and Jesse Haines outdueled Ferguson Jenkins. Haines went eight innings, allowing four hits and one run. Jenkins also went eight innings, allowing three runs on 11 hits.

Fred Lindstrom went 4-for-5 in the the second game and scored twice, including the winning run in the 10th inning. Heine Manush was also 4-for-5 with a pair of runs for the Orators. Rosy Ryan got the win with two innings of shutout relief.

The Flashes pummeled Dixie Davis for six runs in the third inning of the finale, getting three-run homers from Lindstrom and George Kelly. Jack Bentley, making his (and only) start, turned a 6-1 lead over to Jonnard for the ninth inning, but the Orators got six consecutive hits to open the frame and won. Pee Wee Reese opened with a single. Travis Jackson tripled, pinch-hitter Ken Williams doubled, and Richie Ashburn, Billy Herman and Dan Brouthers all singled. After a popup, Manush singled to drive home the winning run. Elam Vangilder got the win with four scoreless innings of relief.

Series 20: Rams sweep two from Orioles

Rams 31-29; Orioles 24-36

Game One: Rams 11, Orioles 6
WP: Collins (4-5)
LP: Phoebus (2-6)
HR: Belanger (2), Wilson (20)

Game Two: Rams 6, Orioles 4 (11 innings)
WP: Wells (1-0)
LP: Leonhard (1-4)
Save: Dauss (10)
HR: Fox (4), Sewell (2)

Raymond scored eight runs in the first four innings of the opener, with Hack Wilson hitting a three-run homer off Tom Phoebus in the second inning. Wilson drove in two more runs during the Rams three-run eighth. Mark Belanger hit a grand slam for Baltimore in the ninth inning as the Orioles scored six runs in the final two innings. Rip Collins allowed three hits in 7.2 innings for the Rams.

The two teams extended their season a couple of innings in the finale. Joe Sewell hit a two-run homer in the top of the 11th to give the Rams the winning margin. Earle Combs and Elmer Flick each went 3-for-5 with two runs. Nellie Fox drove in three runs, two of them on a homer in the seventh.
