There is little doubt that Washington Senators pitcher Rube Waddell is the best in the game. In picking up his 3rd career American League Player of the Week award, Waddell posted a 2-0 record and 0.00 ERA with 11 Strikeouts and 0.5 WAR in 21 innings.

A quick look at the MLB active career pitching strikeout leaders. No surprise that Washington Senators pitcher Rube Waddell sits atop the list with a 388 strikeout lead over 2nd place challenger Christy Mathewson.

With Johnny Lush struggling with his control and Boston falling behind early, the losing streak is now at 2 games, as the New York Highlanders (5-5) topped the Boston Americans (7-3) by a 5 to 4 score.

New York pitcher Addie Joss (2-1) secured the win despite allowing 4 earned runs on 13 hits, 3 walks, and 1 hit batsman; Game Score 46. Opposing pitcher Johnny Lush (2-1) took the loss after permitting 5 runs (3 earned) on 8 hits, 5 walks, and a wild pitch in 8 innings of play; Game Score 51.

The Highlanders were led at the plate by Jimmy Bannon (3 for 4, Homerun, 3 Runs, RBI, Stolen Base) and Jimmy Collins (3 for 3, Double, Run, RBI, Walk). The Americans' offense was generated by Chick Stahl (3 for 5, Double), Danny Shay (1 for 2, Run, Walk, Stolen Base), and Ossee Schreckengost (1 for 3, Double, Run, RBI).

A nice way to close out the series, as pitcher Ralph Caldwell kept the home team in check with the Boston Americans (8-3) scoring a 5 to 1 victory over the New York Highlanders (5-6).

Boston pitcher Ralph Caldwell (3-0) had a fine game in which he allowed just 1 earned run on 5 hits and 2 walks in the 114-pitch outing; Game Score 73. Barney Wolfe (0-3) was tagged with the loss after he served up 5 earned runs on 9 hits and 6 walks in 6 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 35. Jack Taylor was called upon for 1 1/3 innings in which he allowed a harmless hit before turning the ball over to Christy Mathewson for a final scoreless inning of play.

The Americans' bats were alive today, led by Jesse Hoffmeister (3 for 4, 2 Runs, RBI, Walk), Frank Chance (2 for 5, 3 RBIs), and Chick Stahl (2 for 3, Double, Run, 2 Walks). The Highlanders' limited offense was generated by Jimmy Bannon (1 for 2, Triple, Run, 2 Walks, Stolen Base).

A tough extra-innings loss for the visitors, as the Chicago White Sox (5-7) outlasted the Boston Americans (8-4) by a 2 to 1 score.

Bill "Doughnut Bill" Carrick (1-2) picked up the win today, as he permitted 1 unearned run on 7 hits, 2 walks, and 1 hit batsman in his 10-inning, 134-pitch outing; Game Score 75. Jesse Tannehill (2-1) was burdened with the loss after allowing 2 earned runs on 6 hits and 4 walks in 9 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 69.

The White Sox were led at the plate by Bill Clancy (2 for 5, Homerun, Run, 2 RBIs) and Bill Carrick (2 for 4, Run). For the Americans, John Farrell (2 for 3, Double, Stolen Base) and Frank Chance (1 for 2, Walk, Hit-by-Pitch, 2 Stolen Bases) played well despite the outcome.

A disappointing extra-innings loss that was a direct result of closer Jose Ramos failing to lock down the game. In this tight contest, the Chicago White Sox (6-7) bested the visiting Boston Americans (8-5) by a 7 to 6 score.

Picking up the win today was Charles "Chief" Bender who permitted 6 earned runs on 7 hits, 6 walks, and a hit batsman in the 10-inning performance; Game Score 51. The struggles of Noodles Hahn (1-3) continue, as he was tagged for 7 runs (5 earned) on 9 hits, 8 walks in 9 innings of play; Game Score 39. Jose Ramos (BS 1) permitted the 2 runners he inherited to score in the missed opportunity. Hahn's 8 walks set a Boston record for most allowed in an extra-innings game, and while the season is still young I am not liking what I am getting from Hahn's starts.

Chicago's offense was powered by Sherry Magee (2 for 3, Run, 3 Walks), Harry Bay (1 for 4, Homerun, Run, 3 RBIs), and Ty Cobb (1 for 1, Double, 2 RBIs). Bill Lange (2 for 4, 2 Doubles, 3 Runs, Walk), Jesse Hoffmeister (1 for 3, Triple, 3 RBIs, Hit-by-Pitch), and Fred Clarke (2 for 4, Run, Walk) played well on the day.

A disastrous outing by Johnny Lush doomed Boston's chances to pick up a win. On the day, the Chicago White Sox (7-7) cruised to a 9 to 4 win over the visiting Boston Americans (8-6).

White Sox starter Fred Glade (2-2) picked up the win for his complete game work in which he permitted 4 runs (3 earned) on 12 hits and 1 walk while striking out 3 in his 149-pitch effort; Game Score 51. Boston starter Johnny Lush (2-2) was roughed up for 8 earned runs on 7 hits and 2 walks in his 3 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 13. Sam Leever was called in to work the final 4 1/3 innings and did a decent job in that he allowed 1 earned run on 2 hits and 1 walk.

Chicago's offense was fairly balanced, led by Lew Ritter (2 for 3, Double, 2 Runs, 3 RBIs, Stolen Base), Danny Hoffman (2 for 3, 2 Runs, Walk, 2 Stolen Bases), and Bill Clancy (1 for 4, Double, 2 RBIs). For the visiting team, Bill Lange (2 for 4, 2 Triples, Run, Walk) and Frank Chance (2 for 5, Double, Triple, 2 Runs, RBI) played well despite the loss.
