Chicago (AL) (H) 8 Cleveland 2
Fielder Jones |
Cleveland found
themselves short of pitchers so they acquired Harry
McNeal (0-1, 9.00) in a pinch to make his ML debut against the best team in
the AL. The White Stockings scored five runs in the bottom of the first as
their way of welcoming the newcomer, but McNeal kept his composure and pitched
better from there. Catcher Billy
Sullivan hit a two-out two-run triple in the fateful first to put the game
out of reach and right fielder Fielder
Jones scored three runs and hit his second homerun of the season.
Washington 10
Philadelphia (AL (H) 2 (GM 1)
The Senators didn’t
really have any big innings, but they had something going almost every inning
as they easily took game one of the doubleheader. Center fielder and leadoff
hitter Irv
Waldron went 2-for-4 with three RBI's and right fielder Sam Dungan
and catcher Boileryard
Clarke both homered to extend Washington's lead in the AL in this
department.
Philadelphia (AL)
(H) 9 Washington 3 (GM 2)
The Athletics slowly
built a 3-0 lead but that evaporated when Washington third baseman Bill
Coughlin hit a three-run homerun in the top of the seventh to tie the score
at 3-3. This appeared to rile up the Philadelphia team as they roared back with
a six-run eighth that included a two-run homerun (#11) from Nap Lajoie
and a two-out two-run triple from Snake
Wiltse (2-6, 3.91).
Boston (AL) 4
Baltimore (H) 1 (GM 1)
The Americans struck
quickly with three runs in the top of the first and then Cy Young
(21-4, 1.34) took over from there. Boston right fielder Charlie

Baltimore (H) 3
Boston (AL) 1 (GM 2)

the eighth and Jerry Nops
(4-8, 4.34) held on for the win and the doubleheader split.
Detroit 14 Milwaukee
(H) 3
The Tigers spanked
the Brewers pretty thoroughly as they accumulated 22 hits on the day with every
Tigers player accounting for at least two hits. First baseman Davey
Crockett had a 4-for-5 day with two runs scored and two RBI's to lead the
hit parade in support of Jack Cronin
(11-10, 3.92).
St. Louis 6
Pittsburgh (H) 4
St. Louis fell
behind early but stormed back to get the win in Pittsburgh. Right fielder and
player-manager Patsy
Donovan went 3-for-4 on the day and scored three runs in support of Jack Powell
(13-12, 3.18).
Brooklyn 3 Boston
(NL) (H) 0
Superbas first
baseman Joe
Kelley hit a solo homerun in the top of the first to get the visitors a
quick lead and then Bill
Donovan (16-9, 3.22) did the rest. Vic Willis
(13-8, 1.55) pitched well but could have used some offensive support.
New York (H) 4
Philadelphia (NL) 1 (GM 1)
All the runs were
scored early as Christy
Mathewson (18-10, 2.05) and Happy Townsend (2-3, 5.70) finally got warmed
up and shut down their opponents the rest of the way. New York catcher Aleck Smith
went 3-for-4 in game one of the doubleheader.
Philadelphia (NL) 9
New York (H) 4 (GM 2)
The Giants outhit
the Phillies 15-12 in game two, but Dummy
Taylor (11-12, 3.3) had control problems all day and ended up walking eight
Phillies. The visitors capitalized early and built a big lead and allowed Bill
Duggleby (10-9, 2.82) to cruise home with the win.
Cincinnati (H) 10
Chicago (NL) 9
The Reds kept
building up a lead only to see the Orphans repeatedly come back to make it
close, and then the Cincinnati defense completely fell apart and the Orphans
took an 8-6 lead in the top of the eighth. This time the Reds had an answer and
score four times in the bottom of the eighth and then held on for the close
victory. Reds first baseman Jake
Beckley went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, three RBI's, and a double and
right fielder Sam
Crawford had a 2-for-5 day with two runs scored, two RBI's, and a triple
and homerun to spark the Reds offense.
Tuesday, August 6, 1901

Donahue had recently suffered a bruised finger and was expected to miss the
next ten days. Milwaukee also announced the acquisition of outfielder Ed Bruyette.
Baltimore announced
that first baseman Jimmy Hart

'dirty cur'.
Detroit announced
the release of pitcher Ed High.

able to cool off the red hot Tigers as Tully
Sparks (7-14, 4.77) held them to five hits and got the shutout win over a
roughed up Roscoe
Miller (14-9, 2.98). Milwaukee first baseman John
Anderson went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, two RBI's and two doubles,
giving him 45 doubles for the season (he actually had 46).
St. Louis 7
Pittsburgh (H) 5
The Pirates took an
early lead but they let the Cardinals back in the game because of their sloppy
defense as they had five errors in this game. Even then the Pirates did manage
to tie the game at 5-5 when they scored twice in the bottom of the eighth, only
to kick the ball around some more in the ninth and let the visitors regain the
lead. Newly acquired catcher George
Yeager had three of the Pittsburgh errors.
Philadelphia (NL)
Boston (NL) (H) 1
The Phillies put up

innings to pick up the win in game one of the series. Joe Yeager
(13-0, 2.00) defeated Jimmy
Callahan (7-3, 2.21) as Yeager only allowed four hits to the visitors
today.
Philadelphia (AL) 16
Washington (H) 10 (GM 1)
Pitchers on both
teams knew that with the nine games in five days against a common foe there
just wasn’t any relief help and they would have to gut it out every time they
went to the mound this week. Game one of the doubleheader had a total of 46
hits as neither pitcher was particularly effective. Every player on Washington
but one had a hit and scored a run, while every Athletics player had at least
one hit. Phillies left fielder Matty
McIntyre went 5-for-5 and scored four runs and catcher Doc Powers
went 4-for-5 and drove in five runs, three of those runs coming in on a
three-run homerun.
Philadelphia (AL) 9
Washington (H) 8 (GM 2)
Both teams kept
their hitting shoes on for game two as the Athletics led 6-0 after the third
only to see the Senators tie the score at 6-6 with a six-run fifth.

Baltimore (H) 0 (GM 2)
Boston starter Nig Cuppy
(10-1, 3.15) pitched 8.2 innings of hitless ball, only to see the no-hitter
broken up when opposing pitcher Joe
McGinnity (15-15, 2.70) blooped an opposite-field single. Cuppy had walked
a batter earlier in the game but the runner was immediately dispatched with a
double play. Cuppy also went 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored and two
doubles as he threw his fifth shutout of the season.
Milwaukee 10
Cleveland (H) 3
The Blues came into
the game with an eight-game losing streak but found themselves only two games
behind the Brewers for seventh place. Cleveland got off to an early 2-0 lead
but then Milwaukee scored five times in the fifth, a two-out two-run triple by player-manager
Hugh
Duffy being the big hit. The Brewers then struck again with a four-run
eighth, a two-out three-run homerun by John
Anderson to put the game out of reach.
St. Louis 7
Pittsburgh (H) 6
After having lost
the previous two games to St. Louis, Pittsburgh was looking to right the ship
and built up a 6-1 lead after the fifth inning. The Cardinals kept chipping
away though and then with two outs in the top of the ninth center fielder Emmet
Heidrick hit a two-run triple and suddenly St. Louis had the lead. Jack Powell
(14-12, 3.28) held on to the lead and St. Louis completed their three-game
sweep over first-place Pittsburgh.
Chicago (NL) 13
Cincinnati (H) 2
The Reds were hoping
to complete a three-game sweep at home versus Chicago but four Reds errors
opened the door to a big win for the visitors. Lead-off hitter and left fielder
Topsy
Hartsel went 6-for-6 and scored three runs and second place hitter center
fielder Danny
Green went 4-for-6 with three runs scored, four RBI's, and a double and a
triple.
Thursday, August 8, 1901
Nig Cuppy |
As seen on the
telegraph: Boston (AL) announced the release of pitcher Nig Cuppy.
Reportedly, manager Jimmy Collins had carried him on the roster for a month
after having been the team president had ordered his release, but Cuppy was
going to sue the team for a full year's salary. Cuppy planned to open a
billiards hall in Elkhart, IN with teammate catcher Lou Criger after the
season.
Note: Only in an
APBA replay could a pitcher go 10-1, throw five shutouts, and come within one
batter of pitching a no-hitter the previous day and then get released, never to
play major league baseball again. While his line stats are pretty much in-line with
what he did during the regular season, he somehow went 10-1 for me instead of
4-6.
Milwaukee announced
that center fielder and player-manager Hugh Duffy
had been suspended for ten games for assaulting an umpire in a recent game
versus Cleveland. Reportedly there was already bad blood between the two and
after a batted ball landed on the foul
line and was called fair by the umpire (Manassau) Duffy ran over from center
field and landed a right on his jaw.
Brooklyn announced
that pitcher Jay Hughes
would return to the rotation from his sore arm of 08/03/1901.
Chicago (NL)
announced that catcher Johnny
Kling would return to the lineup from his unknown injury of 07/23/1901.
Baltimore 1 Boston
(AL) (H) 0 (14)
After yesterday's
doubleheader in Baltimore, both teams boarded the train and moved the series to
Boston. Baltimore scored the only run of the game when right fielder Cy Seymour
led off the fourteenth with a single, stole second, advanced to third on an
infield out, and then scored on a single by shortstop Bill
Keister. Harry
Howell (12-10, 3.53) got the win over Cy Young
(21-5, 1.30).
Detroit (H) 2
Chicago (AL) 1
Detroit pushed
across a run in the bottom of the third to take a 2-1 lead and then the
pitchers took over. Ed Siever
(13-9, 2.32) and Clark
Griffith (16-6, 1.97) both pitched masterpieces but the Tigers came out on
top today despite being outhit 6-4 by the White Stockings.
Philadelphia (AL)
(H) 3 Washington 1 (GM 1)
After yesterday's
doubleheader in Washington, the two teams got on the train and moved the series
to Philadelphia. The Athletics managed to get a few runs on the board early and
Chick
Fraser (9-15, 5.28) kept the Senators off the board until the ninth inning.
Philadelphia catcher Doc Powers
hit his second homerun of the past two days.
Philadelphia (AL)
(H) 6 Washington 0 (GM 2)
The Senators defense
cleared the way for the Athletics to keep scoring as only two of their runs
allowed were earned, but it was enough for Snake
Wiltse (3-6, 3.46) to claim the shutout win over Bill
Carrick (13-11, 4.07) in game two of the doubleheader. Philadelphia second
baseman Nap
Lajoie had three hits to pass the 150 mark (151) and two RBI's to reach the
100 RBI mark.
Note: Philadelphia
swept yesterday's doubleheader versus Washington by a combined score of 25-18,
as opposed to the 9-1 combined score of today's doubleheader.
Milwaukee 7
Cleveland (H) 3
Cleveland ran their
losing streak to ten games as Milwaukee got ahead early and continued to press
their advantage. Both teams had a sloppy defense, but Ned Garvin
(9-6, 2.82) held the Blues to only six hits and got the win. Brewers first
baseman John
Anderson hit double #46 and drove in three runs to give him 79 for the
season.
Pittsburgh (H) 5
Chicago (NL) 2
Pittsburgh was happy
to be home after having lost three in a row in St. Louis but Chicago made them
work for the win. With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth Pirates
second baseman Claude
Ritchey hit a two-run double to put the home team ahead to stay and secure
the win for Ed Poole
(5-2, 2.27).
Philadelphia (NL) 3
Boston (NL) (H) 1 (10) (GM 1)
With the score tied
1-1 with two outs in the top of the tenth Boston left fielder Frank
Murphy let a ball skip past him all the way to the wall and two Phillies
were able to come around and score to give the visitors a 3-1 lead. Al Orth
(14-7, 2.50), who scored that first run in the tenth, outlasted Togie
Pittinger (10-10, 2.59) for the game one win.
Boston (NL) (H) 4
Philadelphia (NL) 3 (14) (GM 2)
Boston center
fielder Duff
Cooley lined a two-out single off the outfield wall to score first baseman Fred Tenney
from third base and give the Beaneaters a split in the doubleheader. Kid Nichols
(11-10, 2.56) got the decision over Bill
Duggleby (10-10, 2.76).
Brooklyn 9 New York
(H) 4 (GM 1)
The Giants got the scoring started with three in the third but the Superbas answered back with
seven runs in the top of the seventh as Dummy
Taylor's (11-13, 3.24) control problems recurred. Frank
Kitson (13-9, 2.94) got the win and Brooklyn right fielder Willie
Keeler had a 4-for-4 day with a walk
and three runs scored.
Brooklyn 4 New York
(H) 1 (GM 1)
Brooklyn used three
triples to build a 2-0 lead after the third inning and then added two insurance
runs in the ninth to get the game one win in New York. The Superbas had only
seven hits off Christy
Mathewson (18-11, 2.11) but bunched them together to help Jay Hughes
(10-9, 4.34) to the victory and the doubleheader sweep.
St. Louis 3
Cincinnati (H) 2
The Cardinals led
3-1 after the third and then held on for the tight win over Cincinnati. St.
Louis did nick Noodles Hahn
(15-12, 2.73), but the Reds hurler otherwise kept them off the scoreboard. Willie
Sudhoff (6-12, 5.90) got the win.
Friday, August 9, 1901

Boston (AL) (H) 4
Baltimore 0 (GM 1)
George
Winter (6-8, 2.74) didn't allow Baltimore any leeway today as the Americans
got an early lead and then held on for the game one shutout. The Boston offense
didn’t do much, but they bunched their hits and got the job done.
Boston (AL) (H) 3
Baltimore 1 (GM 2)
The Orioles scored
their first run of the day when they tied the score at 1-1 in the top of the
seventh, but the Americans came right back with a two-spot in the bottom half
of the inning. Fred
Mitchell (4-4, 2.84) outdueled Joe
McGinnity (15-16, 2.72) to earn Boston the doubleheader sweep.
Detroit (H) 4
Chicago (AL) 1
The Tiger continued
their torrid play as they beat the first-place White Stockings at home for the
third consecutive day. Chicago scored a run in the top of the first, but that
was all Roscoe
Miller (15-9, 2.90) would give up today as the Chicago defense had three
errors on the day that all led to Detroit runs.
Washington (H) 11
Philadelphia (AL) 6 (GM 1)
The two teams have
played doubleheaders on both of the past two days and three in the past four
days and they have another one today, so the pitchers on both teams are running
on fumes at this point. Catcher Mike Grady
had a homerun (#7) and three RBI's plus right fielder Dale Gear
added three more RBI's to support Bill
Carrick (14-11, 4.11) in his game one win.
Philadelphia (AL) 4
Washington (H) 3 (GM 2)
It appeared the
Senators were well on their way to a doubleheader sweep until Dale Gear,
normally a pitcher but has been in right field most of the week for Washington,
muffed two balls in the eighth inning and suddenly the Athletics had the lead. Eddie Plank
(12-11, 3.71) gladly took the game two win.
Cleveland (H) 2
Milwaukee 1 (10)
Cleveland's best
pitcher, Earl
Moore (10-9, 2.30), returned from his injury stint and ended the Blues
ten-game losing streak. Shortstop Frank
Scheibeck doubled to lead off the bottom of the tenth, moved to third on
Moore's groundout, and then scored when center fielder Ollie
Pickering blooped a single over the second baseman.
Pittsburgh (H) 9
Chicago (NL) 8
An exciting game as
the Orphans kept getting a lead but the Pirates kept coming back, at least
until Jesse
Tannehill (17-3, 1.49) tripled home two runs in the fifth to finally put
Pittsburgh ahead. Now it was Chicago's turn to come back and they finally tied
the game at 8-8 on the top of the ninth, but it was Pirates third baseman Tommy Leach
who ended the game when he singled home second baseman Claude
Ritchey from second base in the bottom of the ninth with the game-winner.
New York 19
Philadelphia (NL) (H) 7
It was the Giants
day as they exploded for 22 hits, walked eight times, and scored 19 runs to win
in a laugher over the Phillies. Shortstop and player-manager George
Davis went 4-for-6 with four runs scored as every Giants player had at
least one hit.
Brooklyn (H) 4
Boston (NL) 2
The Beaneaters
scored first but the Superbas responded with a three-run fourth and Bill
Donovan (17-9, 3.17) defeated Vic Willis
(13-9, 1.62). A two-run single by Brooklyn catcher Deacon
McGuire was the big hit in the fateful fourth for the Superbas.
St. Louis 12
Cincinnati (H) 4
The Cardinals
extended their winning streak to six games as they pounded Reds pitching all
day. Reds fans got an unexpected thrill when St. Louis second baseman Dick Padden
and first baseman Dan McGann
hit back-to-back home run in the top of the fourth.

(AL) (H) 6 (GM 1)
The Orioles scored
four runs in the third and then scored four again in the eighth and finally
held on for the game one victory. Baltimore shortstop Bill
Keister went 2-for-5 with three RBI's and two doubles to get the Orioles
offense going.
Baltimore 1 Boston
(AL) (H) 0 (GM 2)
Cy Young
(21-6, 1.26) only allowed one unearned run but it was all that Baltimore needed
to avenge yesterday's doubleheader sweep with one of their own today. Frank
Foreman (8-6, 2.69) scattered five hits and picked up the game two win.
Note: These two
teams have played nine games against each other over the past six days. Boston
took 3-of-4 in Baltimore to start the week as they swept a doubleheader and the
two teams split a doubleheader. In Boston, both teams each swept a doubleheader and
Baltimore won the solo game, a 3-to-2 advantage for the Orioles giving
Baltimore a 5-4 advantage for the week.
Detroit (H) 4
Milwaukee 1
The Brewers scored
first but that was their only highlight as the Tigers plated two in the fourth
and then two more in the sixth to get the win. Joe Yeager
(14-0, 1.93) took the victory over Bert
Husting (4-8, 6.60).
Washington (H) 9
Philadelphia (AL) 5
The Senators scored
three runs in the second and then added a five-run seventh to run away with the
easy home victory. Washington left fielder Pop Foster
and third baseman Bill
Coughlin both went 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI's and a double.
Note: These two
teams have played nine games against each other over the past six days. The two
teams split a doubleheader in Philadelphia to start the week. Then the series
moved to Washington where the Athletics swept the first two doubleheaders, then
there was a doubleheader split, and then Washington took the finale for a 6-3
advantage for Philadelphia over the week.
Chicago (AL) 4
Cleveland (H) 3
The Blues scored two
in the first and led most of the game, but the White Stockings kept it close
and then in the top of the eighth they combined a few key hits with some sloppy
Cleveland defense to score two runs and regain the lead. Jack Katoll
got the win (12-5, 2.47) over Harry
McNeal (0-2, 5.82).
Philadelphia (NL) 2
New York 1
The Giants didn’t
have a hit until the seventh, but they used the hits they got to tie the score
at 1-1, but could do no more damage against Red Donahue
(14-9, 2.56). The Phillies scored a run in the first then won the game in
the ninth when left fielder Ed
Delahanty singled, stole second, advanced to third on a ground out, then
then scored on first baseman Hughie
Jennings single for the game-winner.
Boston (NL) 3
Brooklyn (H) 2 (GM 1)
The Beaneaters
scored once in the first and then twice in the fourth and then Bill
Dinneen (8-13, 3.10) held off a late charge from the hometown Superbas to
get the game one win. Brooklyn outhit Boston 9-7, but three caught stealing
attempts Brooklyn often cut their own rally attempts short.
Brooklyn (H) 2
Boston (NL) 0 (GM 2)
Brooklyn scored two
runs in the first and that was it for the scoring as Doc Newton
(6-14, 4.98) had another strong outing for his new team. Second baseman Tom Daly
had a two-run single and that was enough to get the Superbas a game two win and
a split in the doubleheader.
St. Louis (H) 6
Cincinnati 2
The Cardinals won
their seventh in a row as the homerun derby appeared in St. Louis today. Reds
third baseman Harry
Steinfeldt homered (#2) in the second to get the visitors an early 2-0
lead, but then St. Louis shortstop Bobby
Wallace hit his first of the year to help regain the lead for the Cardinals in
the fourth and then player-manager Patsy
Donovan added an insurance run in the eighth.

telegraph: Washington announce that outfielder Pop Foster
had temporarily left the team to visit his dying father in Springfield, MA.

Lead-off hitter and center fielder Dummy Hoy
had three RBI's with some clutch hitting.
Detroit (H) 2
Milwaukee 1
The Tigers got two
runs early but that was all, but it was enough as Ed Siever
(14-9, 2.22) didn't allow a hit to the Brewers until the seventh inning. Bill Reidy
(9-13, 3.90) pitched a great game for Milwaukee but could have used some
offensive support.
St. Louis (H) 3
Cincinnati 2
The Cardinals won
their eighth in a row by coming back against the Reds after they spotted the
visitors a two-run lead in the top of the third. St. Louis scored once in the
bottom of the third, and then regained the lead with two in the fourth, and
then allowed Jack Harper
(11-17, 3.99) to shut down the Reds the rest of the way for the win.
Pittsburgh 8 Chicago
(NL) (H) 1
The Pirates got off
to a fast start with two in the first and then they just continued to pour it
on from there, handing Rube
Waddell (14-12, 3.92) one of his worst starts of the season. Ed Doheny
(4-6, 5.06) had another good start for his new team.
