WEB GEMS- Bot 4th: Tris Speaker robbed Bob Bescher of a Homerun!
In a game for the baseball purist, Joe Benz(5-2) and Jack Quinn(1-6) squared
off in a tense pitching duel, Philadelphia Athletics finally emerged
victorious over New York Giants, 2 to 0.
Benz contributed a very nicely pitched game. He surrendered only 4 hits and 1
walk in 7 innings seeing his ERA drop from 3.26 to 2.86. New York tried
unsuccessfully to come back in the 9th.
Bert Humphries preserved the game for Benz, recording his his 9th save. Andy
Spector was in a talkative mood in the clubhouse, 'Great game! If only we
could win all of the close ones - wouldn't that be nice! Since that's not
going to happen, I think I'll savor this one for a little while.'
