outscored the Philadelphia-AL Athletics 8 to 6.

Philadelphia-AL had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.

The win was credited to Russ Ford(17-10) who went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 6
runs. Eddie Plank gained credit for his 2nd save.  King Cole(6-9) was charged
with the loss.  He allowed Chicago-NL 7 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings of work.

winning streak to 8 games.
