Boston (NL) 5 Pittsburgh (H) 3

St. Louis (H) 14 New York 0

The Cardinals got the scoring started with six in the third and then topped that off with a five-run sixth, putting the game out of reach. Mike O'Neill (2-1, .062) got the easy shutout victory. Jesse Burkett went 1-for-5 on the day and is now hitting .395.

Philadelphia (NL) 5 Cincinnati (H) 2 (GM 1)

The Phillies have a 13-1 record versus the Reds so far this year and now have three consecutive doubleheaders in Cincinnati, plus the Reds were missing Sam Crawford, their best player. The Reds led 2-1 after the fourth but couldn’t hold back the Phillies offense. Al Orth (20-11, 2.31) got his twentieth win and Elmer Flick hit homerun #14 for Philadelphia, putting him one ahead of Crawford for the league lead.

Philadelphia (NL) 9 Cincinnati (H) 5 (GM 2)

The Reds scored three in the third to take a 3-2 lead and then they scored two in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead, but once again they couldn’t hold back the Phillies offense. Bill Duggleby (15-13, 2.57) got the win in relief after start Doc White got tossed for three HBP's. Elmer Flick keyed the offense with a 5-for-5 day (.354) with three runs scored and three runs driven in.

Tuesday, October 1, 1901

As seen on the telegraph: New York announced the release of infielder Jim Miller. Reportedly Miller had left the team in St. Louis following a disagreement with some of his teammates. New York also announced the acquisition of pitcher Harry Felix from Montreal (Eastern League)

Pittsburgh (H) 5 Boston (NL) 0 (No-Hitter!)

Deacon Phillippe (21-12, 2.64) threw the fourth no-hitter of the season and got it at a good time as he was able to reduce the Pirates magic number to three. Pittsburgh scored four times in the fourth behind four consecutive doubles.


Philadelphia (NL) 8 Cincinnati (H) 4 (GM 1)

Ed Delahanty
After yesterday's unexpected relief stint Bill Duggleby (16-13, 2.55) came back today and handcuffed the Reds for the Game One win. Elmer Flick drove in two runs, giving him 115 for the season, right behind Ed Delahanty who drove in one to put him at 120 RBI's for the season.

Cincinnati (H) 4 Philadelphia (NL) 2 (GM 2)

The Reds finally got a second win against the Phillies as left fielder Dick Harley hit a three-run homerun as part of a four-run fourth and Len Swormstedt (1-1, 3.18) held the powerful Philadelphia offense in check. Elmer Flick did hit homerun #16 for the Phillies.

Boston (NL) 11 Pittsburgh (H) 4

The Pittsburgh magic number remains at three as the Pirates lost 2-of-3 to Boston at home. The Beaneaters scored five times in the fifth inning to blow the game open and make it a cakewalk for Kid Nichols (21-13, 2.45). Right fielder Pat Carney went 3-for-6 with four RBI's and center fielder Billy Lush went 3-for-5 with a run scored, three RBI's, and a double to lead the offense.

Cincinnati (H) 3 Philadelphia (NL) 2 (10) (GM 1)

With the score tied 2-2 both teams had chances in the ninth but the game soon moved into extra innings when Reds shortstop Tommy Corcoran started off the bottom of the tenth by reaching on an error, stole second, and then scored the game-winner on George Magoon's single to right. Noodles Hahn (24-17, 2.39) got the win over Red Donahue (19-15, 2.32).

Jake Beckley
Cincinnati (H) 3 Philadelphia (NL) 2 (GM 2)

The Reds scored single runs in each of the first three innings and Bill Phillips (12-22, 4.66) made that lead stand up for the win and the doubleheader sweep. Cincinnati First baseman Jake Beckley went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI, and a double, all crucial to the Reds offense today.

Saturday, October 5, 1901

As seen on the telegraph: Chicago (NL) announced the acquisition of infielder Germany Schaefer from St. Paul (Western Association).

Brooklyn announced the acquisition of pitcher Gene Wright from Dayton (Western Association).
10/05/1901

Note: Pittsburgh's magic number is three, but they have a 2.5 game lead over Brooklyn and both teams have two games left to play. Therefore, if Brooklyn wins both and Pittsburgh loses both, Pittsburgh will still end the season with a better record.

Boston (NL) 12 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 1

The Beaneaters opened a big lead with a five-run fifth and then added a four-run eighth late to put this game out of reach. Vic Willis (23-13, 1.51) got the win and the big bat was supplied by second baseman Gene DeMontreville who went 4-for-6 with two runs scored and an RBI.

Note: These two teams do not play tomorrow so this marks the end of their 1901 season.

Brooklyn (H) 2 New York 0 (GM 1)

The Superbas scored twice in the third inning and Bill Donovan (24-13, 2.81) did the rest. Dummy Taylor (17-24, 3.39) took the hard-luck loss.

Brooklyn (H) 3 New York 2 (10) (GM 2)

Brooklyn scored twice in the fourth, New York scored to in the sixth to tie the score at 2-2, and soon it was off to extra innings. In the bottom of the tenth Superbas right fielder Willie Keeler led off the inning with a single and was then promptly doubled home by left fielder Jimmy Sheckard. Gene Wright (1-0, 0.90) got the win in his major league debut over Christy Mathewson (22-15, 2.05).

Note: These two teams do not play tomorrow so this marks the end of their 1901 season.

Pittsburgh 17 Chicago (NL) (H) 1

Pittsburgh right fielder Lefty Davis set the tone for this game when he hit the first pitch he saw out of the park and after that, it was all Pirates. A six-run second followed by a six-run fifth were all fueled by twenty-five hits on the day as every starter in the Pittsburgh lineup had at least one hit. Ginger Beaumont, Honus Wagner, and Claude Ritchey all went 4-for-6 on the day and Ed Poole (7-3, 2.72) got the win and chipped in with a 3-for-5 day.
  
Sunday, October 6, 1901

Rube Waddell
Pittsburgh 9 Chicago (NL) (H) 7 (10)

For the second consecutive day Lefty Davis hit the first pitch he saw out of the park and the Pirates soon rolled to a 7-2 lead, but the Orphans fought back with a four-run seventh and then tied the score with one in the eighth. In the top of the tenth Davis came through again with a single that scored catcher Jack O'Connor and then Davis later scored on an error.

St. Louis 10 Cincinnati (H) 4 (GM 1)

The Cardinals score four times in the top of the first and soon built an 8-0 lead. Mike O'Neill (3-1, 0.75) got the Game One win but Jesse Burkett went 0-for-4 (.392) pretty much ending his hopes of hitting .400 with only one game to go.

Cincinnati (H) 9 St. Louis 5 (GM 2)

The Reds scored three times in the first and then three more times in the third and ran away with it from there. Center fielder John Dobbs went 2-for-3 with two walks and scored three runs and drove in two others to support Archie Stimmel (3-13, 5.67) for the Game Two win. Jesse Burkett went 2-for-3 with a final batting average of .394.

1901 World Series and Finale

World Series Game One, Tuesday, October 8, 1901 The heat of the long hot Chicago summer had broken just in time for the commencement of the inaugural World Series and it was a beautiful Tuesday afternoon at South Side Park in Chicago. The home team, the Chicago White Stockings, had not played an official game in ten days, but were happy for the time off and were happy to have catcher Billy Sullivan back and able to play after his finger injury in the last week of the season plus pitcher Roy Patterson had rejoined the club after he had been allowed to return home before the end of the season. The visitors, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had just completed their regular season two days previous, but were happy for the day off on Monday and were ready to go as well. South Side Park, Chicago IL There was a concern as to whether this event would ever happen as both the leagues were still at war with each other, but both leagues, both teams, and the players all saw an opportunit...

Week 7 Summary

Week 7 is in the books and the season has reached the month of June. The pennant races are still bunched up with a lot of churn seen in the middle of the pack, but Pittsburgh and Boston remain atop of the standings in their respective leagues. Each league still has two teams that haven’t reached the thirty games played mark yet, the two at the top in the AL and two of the three at the bottom in the NL. The AL has surpassed the NL in the number of games played, despite the NL getting a week head start on their new compatriots. Both leagues have started their eastern and western swings and at this point, the only teams that haven’t face each other yet are Baltimore and Cleveland, which will get fixed immediately when Week 8 commences. 1901 New York Ginats In the AL, Boston is fifth in the league in hitting and fourth in ERA, but thanks to Cy Young's 9-0 start and 0.89 ERA they enjoy a comfortable 4.5 game lead. Baltimore is second in the league in hitting and ERA and has man...

Week 19 Summary

Week 19 is in the books and the 1901 replay marches on. Three teams still haven’t reached the 100 games-played mark, all three in the NL, although that will be rectified shortly. It is only a 140 game season, so the end is drawing nigh. I was curious - there were 59 games played in Week 17, 43 in both Weeks 18 and 19 (although Week 18 was another doubleheader extravaganza), and there will be 53 games played in the upcoming Week 20. Ed Delahanty Pittsburgh continues to hold onto first place in the NL, although Brooklyn has cut their lead down to only three games. The Pirates always get good pitching, but their hitters are listless sometimes. Both Philadelphia and Brooklyn swing hot and cold - Brooklyn is hot now, Philadelphia is not. Boston has clawed their way past New York again, and below them, Chicago and St. Louis are both looking to move up in the standings with a late-season rush (if they can stay healthy). Cincinnati has provided some pain to the teams at the top of th...
