Cubs 7, Cardinals 6: Chicago somehow overcame six errors in the field, scoring once in the 11th inning to prolong the game and once in the 13th to win and salvage a doubleheader split at home. The visitors led 4-1 through five innings, Austin McHenry doubling home a pair, before the Cubs started to come into the game. A two-out double by Charlie Deal and an RBI single from Tom Daly scored one in the 6th and then Les Mann roped a three-run home run (3) in the following frame to jump Chicago into the lead for the first time. But McHenry tripled in the 8th and pinch-hitter Cliff Heathcote tied the game with a two-out single. Neither team threatened in the 9th, and it was off to extra frames. Pickles Dillhoefer reached on the sixth Chicago error of the game to start the top of the 11th, advanced on a single by pitcher Bill Sherdel, and scored the go-ahead run on Milt Stock's base hit with two away. But Sherdel (1-5) couldn't hold the fort in the bottom of the inning; Bill Killefer led off with a PH single, moved to second on a comebacker, and scored when Charlie Pick singled. The 12th inning was quiet, but the Cards got a runner to second with two away in the top of the 13th before Paul Carter (1-2) retired Dots Miller on a sharp line drive to third base. Sherdel retired the first two Cubs in bottom half, but Pick singled to keep the game going before Mann lined a ball into RCF gap that went all the way to wall for a game-winning triple. Pick had four hits, Mann had four RBI, and Lee Magee made three errors at shortstop for Chicago. [box]

Cardinals 7, Cubs 4: In the opener of the afternoon's festivities at Weeghman Park, Chicago made five errors leading to three unearned runs and Rogers Hornsby hit a game-clinching home run in the late innings. The Cubs jumped to an early 4-0 lead behind six singles off of Oscar Tuero (4-5) in the first three innings, but were held to just two hits the rest of the way by the Cardinals' Cuban righty as the Cardinals gradually worked their way back into the game. A two-rum homer by Vince Clemons (2) cut the lead in half in the 4th, and Charlie Pick's error with one out in the 5th opened the door to two more STL scores. Two more Cub errors in the 6th allowed St Louis to take the lead on Hornsby's RBI double, and Rajah put the game out of reach when he homered (4) with one man aboard in the 8th. Milt Stock walked three times and Austin McHenry had three hits for the visitors. [box]
Pirates 2, Reds 0: Babe Adams tossed his fourth shutout of the season, holding the League-leaders to five hits while Pittsburgh were scoring two single runs with the help of errors by Heinie Groh. In the 3rd, Howdy Caton tripled with one out, and scored when Groh kicked Casey Stengel's ground ball and, in the 8th, it all happened again - Caton hit for three bases for the second time, and when he tried to score one out later on George Cutshaw's ground ball to third base, Groh threw home wildly. Adams (9-2) allowed only one hit in the first five innings, and pitched around triples by Ivey Wingo and Dutch Ruether to preserve the shutout and the victory. [box]
