HIGHLANDERS IN TOTAL CONTROL OF THE AL AFTER ANOTHER BLISTERING MONTH

STILL PLENTY OF LIFE IN THE NL RACE WITH THREE CLUBS IN CONTENTION

Notable Performances

2nd: Chicago’s Elmer Stricklett 3-hits Detroit with 7 strikeouts in a 9-1 win for the Sox.
3rd: the Giants and Phillies play out a 19-inning classic. It’s 6-6 after regulation, then both sides score 3 in the 14th to prolong the marathon affair, before Philly finally wins it walkoff on an error by New York CF Red Murray, a somewhat anticlimactic end to a match of such high drama.
4th: a Fourth of July double-header between Cleveland and Chicago provides plenty of fireworks, with a total of 72 hits and 44 runs over the two games, both of which the White Sox win, 17-15 and 7-5. The other end of the spectrum over at Hilltop park, with Kirk McCaskill earning his 10th win of the season with a 3-hit shutout of the Sens in a 2-0 Highlanders win. New York go on to win 6 of 7 played consecutively against their nearest rivals in the AL, by the end of which they have stretched their lead to a whopping 11½ games.
12th: the Highlanders come back from an early 6-0 deficit, scoring 7 in the final two innings to nip the Tigers 8-7, taking their record for July to a phenomenal 14-2.
13th: in one of those results that can really lift a club, the Beaneaters score 2 in the bottom 9th to send their game against the Reds into extra innings, fall immediately behind again when they give up a run in the top 10th, then walk it off 10-9 in the home half on a 2-run single by Warren Cromartie.
17th: Detroit’s Milt Cuyler goes 3-for-5 with 2 triples and 5 RBI in an 8-3 win over the A’s.
19th: he doesn’t have such a great day on the mound, but Washington pitcher Ernie Broglio makes up for it at the plate with 5 hits including 2 doubles, driving in a run as Washington knocks off the Tigers by a thumping 19 to 6. Curt Motton also drives in 5 for the Sens.
26th: Brooklyn’s Jack Pfiester pitches a gem, two-hitting the Cards and fanning 5 in an 8-0 win.
27th: Ian Desmond goes 5-for-5 with a trip and 3 ribbies, but his Reds still lose 6-5 to New York.
