HR-Reggie Jackson(8), Jim Rice(2).

Clippers 9 Mad Dogs 2. Jimmie Foxx and Jackie Robinson led the Clippers past the first place Mad Dogs, 9-2, thanks to hot bats swung by both. Foxx singled in two runs, then smashed a three run homer in the fifth; while Jackie homered and doubled, scored three times and drove in three runs. WP-Dizzy Dean(4-2). LP-Greg Maddux(2-3). HR-Chipper Jones(5); Jimmie Foxx(9), J. Robinson(5).

Sultans 9 Peaches 2. The Sultans exploded for seven runs in the top of the seventh, enroute to a 9-2 pasting of the Peaches. Joe Jackson, Babe Ruth and Tris Speaker all homered in the fateful frame. Four of the runs were charged to starter, Ed Walsh, the last three to reliever, Vean Gregg. Hal Chase went deep in a losing cause. WP-Dazzy Vance(4-1). LP-Ed Walsh(2-2).
