Detroit 10 Chicago (AL) (H) 6 (GM 2)
The Tigers had a small lead, but then Charlie Gehringer hit a three run homerun in the fourth to blow it open for Detroit. Carl Reynolds had a double and four RBI's for the White Sox, but their belated rally couldn't catch them up.

The Yankees took a quick 2-0 lead after two, but then Jimmie Foxx put the A's in the lead with a three-run homerun (#27, 114) in the third. Babe Ruth hit a solo shot (#43, 142) in the fifth to tie the score at 3-3, and that was all until Lyn Lary singled home Ben Chapman with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. George Pipgras (17-9) got the win and Roy Sherid picked up the save.
New York (AL) (H) 6 Philadelphia (AL) 0 (GM 2)
Red Ruffing (11-12) pitched a gem, holding the A's to only three hits on the day. Mickey Cochrane had two passed balls in the first inning plus the Yankees were able to string together some hits to take a 5-0 lead after the second, and Ruffing did the rest.
St. Louis (AL) (H) 9 Cleveland 5 (GM 1)
The Browns scored four times in the second and then added three more in the third and went on to win game one with George Blaeholder picking up the victory. Fred Schulte homered and drove in three to pace the Browns offense.

Cleveland 6 St. Louis (AL) (H) 2 (GM 2)
Ed Morgan hit a two-run homerun (#33, 93) in the top of the first, but Browns starter Dick Coffman (10-18) tied the game back up with a two-run single in the bottom of the second.

Washington (H) 4 Boston (AL) 3 (GM 1)
The Nationals opened up a quick 3-0 lead, but the Red Sox were tenacious and eventually tied the score at 3-3 after the seventh.

Boston (AL) 6 Washington (H) 2 (GM 2)
The Red Sox led 3-0 after the second and Ed Durham (3-5) didn't allow any runs until the seventh inning and Boston as able to split the doubleheader. Firpo Marberry (18-3) made his first appearance since August 2 for the Nationals.
Boston (NL) (H) 6 Brooklyn 4 (GM 1)
Boston second baseman Freddie Maguire blooped a two-run double in a three-run Braves third inning to give them the lead, but Robins left fielder Rube Bressler hit a two-run home run to give Brooklyn a 4-3 lead after six innings. There the score stayed until the Braves pushed across the tying run in the bottom of the ninth and then Wally Berger poked a two-run homerun (#31, 99) to give the Braves the game one victory. Babe Herman went 4-for-4 for the Robins and now has 200 hits for the season.
Boston (NL) (H) 4 Brooklyn 2 (GM 2)
The day after the lowly Braves swept a doubleheader in New York they came home and took two from Brooklyn. Neal Finn hit a two run homerun for Brooklyn in the top of the sixth to cut the Braves lead to 3-2, but the Braves were able to add one more and Bob Smith (9-11) took it home.
Chicago (NL) 2 Cincinnati (H) 1 (GM 1)

Philadelphia (NL) (H) 9 New York (NL) 4 (GM 1)
The Giants picked up a lead 4-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth, and with Carl Hubbell (15-11) on the mound felt good about their chances. Then Lefty O'Doul drove in two runs with a triple immediately followed by a Chuck Klein two-run homerun (#31, 135), and in two swings the score was tied. Two innings later O'Doul added a two-run homerun of his own, and the rout was on. O'Doul ended the day with five RBI's (84).
New York (NL) 13 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 5 (GM 2)
New York catcher Bob O'Farrell got the Giants off to a quick lead with a first-inning grand slam, and the Giants exploded for 24 hits to split the doubleheader. Bill Walker (14-10) didn't pitch appreciably well, but with a big lead he muddled through for the win. Bill Terry went 6-for-6 for the game and now has 201 hits for the season.
Pittsburgh (H) 8 St. Louis (NL) 2 (GM 1)
The Cardinals led 2-1 after four, but then the Pirates offense got going and a four-run fourth soon put the game out of reach. Steve Swetonic (4-2) got the game one victory for the Pirates.
St. Louis (NL) 11 Pittsburgh (H) 5 (12) (GM 2)
The Cardinals got an early 3-0 lead, but could never put the Pirates away, and Pittsburgh eventually tied the score at 4-4 in the home half of the eighth. There the score stood until the Cardinals exploded for seven runs in the twelfth. Jesse Haines (16-3) got the win in a rare relief appearance.
Tuesday, September 2, 1930
After a day full of doubleheaders there are a couple of light days coming up, but by the time the weekend rolls around the schedule will be full up again.
Cleveland 12 St. Louis (AL) (H) 7
Cleveland started the day 2.5 games behind St. Louis and still has a dream of passing them in the standings, but the Browns scored four times in the first, including a two-run Goose Goslin homerun (#31, 104). The Indians kept fighting and eventually tied the score at 4-4 in the top of the fifth, only to see the Browns scored three times in the bottom of the fifth, only to see the Indians take the lead for the first time with four runs in the sixth. The scoring slowed down then until Earl Averill hit a three-run homerun (#22, 99) in the ninth to put the game away for Cleveland.
Brooklyn 5 Boston (NL) (H) 3 (10)
Boston took an early 1-0 lead, and Brooklyn didn't score until the eighth inning when three runs crossed the plate, the last two on a two-run homerun by Al Lopez. Watty Clark (13-10) came in to relieve Dazzy Vance in the ninth, but game up two runs to tie the score back up and the game went to the tenth. The Robins then plated two in the tenth and held on for the win.
Cincinnati (H) 5 Chicago (NL) 2
The Cubs scored first, but the pesky Reds regained the lead and Ray Kolp (13-4) and Si Johnson held off the Chicago attack to get the win. Hack Wilson (44) and Harry Heilmann (48) both had a pair of doubles.
New York (NL) 10 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 3
The Giants scored two in the first and then four times in the third and won this one easily. Freddie Lindstrom went 4-for-4 with four runs scored and Mel Ott chipped in with a 4-for-5 day with three RBI's. Freddie Fitzsimmons (18-6) got the win.
Wednesday, September 3, 1930
Washington 13 New York (AL) (H) 4
The Nationals put up four unearned in the top of the first and then poured it on from there, allowing Sad Sam Jones (10-9) to go all the way for the easy victory. Heinie Manush went 4-for-5 to bump his average up to .396.
Note: Yankees started Ed Wells hit Sam Rice and Ossie Bluege with consecutive pitches in the sixth and was ejected. Lou McEvoy then plunked Bluege in the ninth and was ejected as well.
Boston (AL) 4 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 1 (11)
Newly acquired outfielder Jimmy Moore drove in the A's run in the second to give Lefty Grove an early 1-0 lead, but Milt Gaston held the A's for the remainder of the game and neither figured in the decision. Earl Webb hit a solo homerun off Grove in the seventh to tie the score, and there the score stayed until the top of the eleventh when Russ Scarritt singled home the lead and run and scored when Bill Regan followed with a two run homerun to give the Red Sox the hard-fought victory.
Note: This is Jimmy Moore, the outfielder who started the season with the White Sox, not Jim Moore, the pitcher who is with the White Sox now.
New York (NL) 3 Boston (NL) (H) 2 (GM 1)
Travis Jackson hit a two run homerun to give the Giants an early 2-1 lead, but the Braves were tenacious and tied the score at 2-2 after the sixth. Center fielder Wally Roettger singled home Jackson in the seventh, and that was all the scoring in game one.
New York (NL) 3 Boston (NL) (H) 2 (GM 2)
With a pair of 3-2 wins the Giants took their revenge against the Braves for Boston having swept a doubleheader in New York this past Sunday. Bill Walker (15-10) got the win and his two-run homerun in the fifth made the difference in the game.
Chicago (NL) 10 Pittsburgh (H) 2
The first seven batters for the Cubs reached safely, with the first out being a sacrifice fly to give the Cubs a quick 5-0 lead. After the first inning fireworks, things quieted down until Hack Wilson hit a three-run homerun (#30, 147) in the eighth to put the game out of reach.
Thursday, September 4, 1930
Chicago (AL) (H) 3 Cleveland 2
Cleveland starter Willis Hudlin (3-24) has had a pretty bad season so far, but he pitched a good game today. Unfortunately, he gave up a two-run homerun to Carl Reynolds in the first, and then committed the error that allowed the eventual winning run to score in the bottom of the sixth.
St. Louis (AL) 3 Detroit (H) 2 (13)
The Browns got on the board first when they scored two in the sixth, but the Tigers scored single runs in the seventh and eighth to tie it up and to send the game into extra innings. Both teams had several chances but could not score - twice Tiger third baseman Marty McManus hit a one-out triple, only to be stranded at third. Fred Schulte finally singled home Rick Ferrell in the thirteenth and the Browns held on for the win.
New York (AL) (H) 2 Washington 1
It wasn't much, but the Yankees scored one in the second on a Lou Gehrig homerun (#38, 152) and then a second run in the seventh on a Bill Dickey double, but it was enough for Hank Johnson (7-6) today.
Philadelphia (AL) (H) 2 Boston (AL) 0
Mickey Cochrane drove in both of the A's runs today with a solo homerun in the first and then he doubled home Max Bishop in the third. Bill Shores (10-7) allowed only one hit to the visiting Red Sox and got the victory.
Note: In 1930 the A's won this game 8-7 in fifteen innings. Lefty Grove got the win after a nine-inning relief stint.
Boston (NL) (H) 6 New York (NL) 5
Just three days ago Giants catcher hit a grand slam. Today, the other Giants catcher, Shanty Hogan, hit a grand slam of his own. However, it wasn't enough as the Braves scored twice in the seventh to get within one and then Earl Clark hit a two-run pinch-hit homerun in the bottom of the ninth to give the Braves a surprising come-from-behind victory.
Chicago (NL) 12 Pittsburgh (H) 9
The Cubs scored five times in the top of the second, only to see the Pirates roar back with six runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. From there the game went back and forth several times until the Cubs finally went ahead to stay with a three-run fifth and then a three-run sixth. Recently acquired Jesse Petty pitched three innings of stellar relief to hold off the Pirates.
Note: Rogers Hornsby made his first appearance in the field since returning from his injury and Charlie Grimm made his first appearance in two weeks as a pinch-hitter.
St. Louis (NL) (H) 4 Cincinnati 3
The Reds scored three in the first, a two-run triple by Tony Cuccinello being the big hit, and for a long time it looked like that might be all of the scoring in this one. The Cardinals finally pushed across a run in the sixth to get on the board, and then tied the game with two in the eighth. In the bottom of the ninth St. Louis loaded the bases and then won the game on a Jim Bottomley single.
Note: Frankie Frisch made his first appearance in about ten days.
Friday, September 5, 1930
The four AL games yesterday resulted in a total of fifteen runs scored, while the three NL games were a little more raucous and all featured come-from-behind victories.
Chicago (AL) (H) 6 Cleveland 3
This game was a close one with a couple of lead changes and ties, but then Carl Reynolds hit a two-run homerun (#15, 79) and the White Sox had a lead they would not relinquish. Red Faber (7-13) got the win for Chicago.
New York (AL) (H) 6 Washington 2
Earle Combs stole two bases and scored three runs to spark the offense and George Pipgras (18-9) went all the way to claim the victory. Twice Pipgras got Joe Judge to make the third out in an inning leaving the bases loaded and preserve the Yankees lead.
Philadelphia (AL) (H) 3 Boston (AL) 2
The Red Sox scored twice in the top of the second, the second run scoring when starter Jack Russell (8-17) doubled off the center field wall. The A's answered with one in the bottom of the second, and there the score stood until Max Bishop hit a two-out two-run homerun (#20) in the bottom of the ninth to give George Earnshaw (17-10) and the A's the dramatic victory.
Note: Bishop only hit ten homeruns in 1930, but he continues to excel for me.
New York (NL) 11 Boston (NL) (H) 5
Carl Hubbell (16-11) wasn't especially sharp today, but with eleven runs of support behind him, he easily went all the way for the win. Freddy Leach went 3-for-5 and scored three times and Bill Terry went 3-for-4 with a homerun and drove in two.
Chicago (NL) 5 Pittsburgh (H) 4
For some reason, the Pirates always play the Cubs extremely tough. The Cubs scored three times in the second and appeared to be heading towards an easy win, but reliever Bob Osborn came up lame after getting one out in the bottom of the ninth, so Guy Bush came in and immediately got the second out, and then Bush allowed the Pirates to score twice and make it close, but eventually got the third out with the tying run on third base. Pat Malone (21-7) got the win for the Cubs and the Cubs moved into a tie for first with the idle Cardinals
Saturday, September 6, 1930
Cleveland 3 Chicago (AL) (H) 2 (GM 1)
In a taut battle of aces, Wes Ferrell (21-10) defeated Ted Lyons (18-14). Carl Reynolds homered for the third game in a row and the White Sox took a 2-0 lead after four. The Indians scored in the fifth and the sixth to tie it up, and then in the ninth Johnny Hodapp drove home Ed Morgan with the eventual winning run.
Chicago (AL) (H) 5 Cleveland 4 (10) (GM 2)
The Indians scored four in the top of the first that included a three-run homerun by Bibb Falk, but Tommy Thomas (6-14) shut them down the rest of the way and the White Sox slowly but surely fought their way back into it. Chicago finally tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom of the eighth, and then in the tenth Red Barnes scored the game-winner on a pinch-hit single by Bob Fothergill.
Detroit (H) 8 St. Louis (AL) 5
The Tigers went ahead when they scored two in the first and eventually 5-2 after the seventh. They added three in the ninth, which came in handy as the Browns tried to climb back into it. Whit Wyatt started but had to be pulled in the fourth due to a stiff shoulder, so Waite Hoyt (9-15) came in and got the win in relief. Bill Akers and Dale Alexander both tripled and homered and drove in two runs on the day.
New York (AL) (H) 3 Washington 2
The Nationals scored single runs in both the second and the third, but then Lou Gehrig hit a three-run homerun (#39, 156) in the bottom of the third and that was all the scoring in this one. Red Ruffing (12-12) got the win over Lloyd Brown (11-10).
Philadelphia (AL) (H) 11 Boston (AL) 4
Al Simmons hit a two-run homerun (#26, 136) in the bottom of the first to give the A's a quick lead, and then the A's blew the game open when Jimmie Foxx hit a grand slam in the third. And if that wasn't enough, Foxx added a three-run homerun (#29, 121) in the fifth and the rout was on. Simmons went 3-for-4 on the day and came up a single short of a cycle.
New York (NL) 2 Boston (NL) 1 (GM 1)
This is the third Boston - New York doubleheader in the seven days, and the Giants took a quick lead when Hughie Critz tripled to lead off the game and was immediately singled home by Freddy Leach. The Braves tied the score at 1-1 in the fifth, and there the score stood until Shanty Hogan homered in the top of the ninth. Freddie Fitzsimmons (19-7) got the win in game one.
New York (NL) 13 Boston (NL) (H) 0 (GM 2)
Hughie Critz led off game two with a triple as well and the Giants took a quick 4-0 lead. Bill Walker (16-10) didn’t allow a hit until the sixth inning and the Giants just kept pouring it on. Mel Ott went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a homerun (#17) and drove in three runs (107) to lead the Giants offense.
Brooklyn (H) 6 Philadelphia (NL) 5 (10)
The Phillies scored four times in the third and led 5-2 after seven, but the Robins knew they were in a pennant race and never quit. Babe Herman hit a two-run homerun (#33, 116) in the eighth to make it close and then Del Bissonette hit a solo homerun (#13, 115) in the ninth and the game went to extra innings. In the tenth Eddie Moore led off with a single, was sacrificed to second by Herman, and then scored on a Glenn Wright double. Watty Clark (14-10) got the win in relief.
Chicago (NL) 7 Pittsburgh (H) 2

St. Louis (NL) (H) 9 Cincinnati 5
Bill Hallahan (12-12) has had control problems all year, but only walked one today and the Cardinals held on to their first-place tie. Despite eventually getting the win, Hallahan did allow four runs to the Reds in the top of the first, but his teammates bailed him out with three in the bottom of the first and then three more in the third.
Sunday, September 7, 1930
Chicago (AL) (H) 11 Cleveland 9
The White Sox led 11-3 after the sixth and then had to hold off a furious Indians rally to get the win, and go 4-1 in the series against Cleveland. Jim Moore (2-0) got the start and pitched five scoreless innings, but after getting hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth it was decided he should sit the rest of the day. The Indians feasted on the White Sox bullpen, but Ted Lyons came in to get a two-out save and end the game. Smead Jolley went 4-for-5 with three runs scored to spark the offense.
St. Louis (AL) 5 Detroit (H) 2
Red Kress hit a two-run homerun (#14, 108) in the first and then Ski Melillo hit a two-run single in the fourth and Lefty Stewart (23-6) had what he needed to get a win over the Tigers.
Boston (AL) 4 New York (AL) (H) 0 (GM 1)
Russ Scarritt knocked a two-run triple to get the Red Sox the lead and then Milt Gaston (16-12) did the rest as Boston took game one of the doubleheader. Catcher Johnnie Heving went 3-for-4 and scored two runs on the day.
New York (AL) (H) 12 Boston (AL) 2 (GM 2)
The Yankees woke out of their recent offensive doldrums and stroked five triples on the day. Tony Lazzeri went 5-for-5 with two triples and four RBI's, Babe Ruth went 1-for-3 with three runs scored and three RBI's to go with his triple, and Lou Gehrig chipped in with a homerun (#40) and three RBI's (159). Roy Sherid (10-6) benefitted from the offensive largesse and went all the way to split the doubleheader.
Philadelphia (AL) 4 Washington (H) 0
Left fielder Jimmy Moore continues to sparkle in his limited opportunity as he went 2-for-4 today and drove in two key runs. Rube Walberg (14-7) got the shutout but also hit a triple and scored a run to help his own cause.
Boston (NL) (H) 9 Philadelphia (NL) 8 (GM 1)
The Braves started the day with a 2.5 game lead over the Phillies, but both teams would like to escape the cellar. The Braves scored seven times in the bottom of the second and then held on for dear life to win game one. Fred Brickell tripled home a run to get the Phillies within one but was thrown out trying to score on the hit. Then reliever Fred Frankhouse walked the next two batters and had the dubious distinction of getting to face Chuck Klein with two outs and two on, but he got Klein to pop-up and end the game.
Boston (NL) (H) 2 Philadelphia (NL) 1 (GM 2)
Just like in game one Fred Brickell tripled home a run to get the Phillies within one, and sensing an opportunity to tie the game, made a mad dash home but was thrown out at the plate. Socks Seibold (14-13) got the win as the Braves swept the doubleheader. This was the Braves fourth doubleheader in the past eight days, and they are looking forward to not playing tomorrow.
Brooklyn (H) 4 New York (NL) 0
Dazzy Vance (17-7) didn't allow a hit until the eighth inning as the Robins defeated their crosstown rivals. Eddie Moore singled home two runs in the bottom of the fourth to get the Robins an early lead.
Note: In the third inning first baseman Del Bissonette was called out on strikes and was ejected for having a potty mouth.
Chicago (NL) (H) 12 Pittsburgh 3
It's a Sunday, so the Cubs and the Pirates jumped on a train after yesterday's game in Pittsburgh and will finish the series in Chicago. The score was tied 2-2 after the fourth, but then Hack Wilson launched a three-run homerun (#41, 153) and the Cubs offense shifted into high gear to make an easy winner of Bob Osborn (8-5).
St. Louis (NL) (H) 4 Cincinnati 0 (GM 1)
The Cardinals managed to manufacture four runs today and Flint Rhem (9-5) made them stand up with a shutout victory. Jim Bottomley went 1-for-3 but scored two big runs.
St. Louis (NL) (H) 8 Cincinnati 0 (GM 2)
The Cardinals not only swept the doubleheader and now have sole possession of first place in the NL, but they won both games by shutout over the pesky Reds. Jesse Haines (17-3) handled the Reds easily and got the win. Jim Bottomley had two RBI's and Frankie Frisch scored three runs to lead the offense, but the big factor in today's game was the four Reds errors that lead to six unearned runs.
