(AL) pitcher Ed Walsh
made his Season Debut on 06/13/1916
Chicago
(AL) (H) 1 Washington 0
Twice, the White Sox had a runner on third with less than two outs, but they were
unable to capitalize either time. Finally, in the bottom of the seventh, second
baseman Eddie
Collins led off the inning with a triple, and then quickly scored when
first baseman Jack Ness
hit a long sacrifice fly, the only run of the game. Joe Benz
(1-4, 3.12) got the win over Bert Gallia
(6-2, 2.46), even though both pitchers only allowed three hits on the day.
Philadelphia
(AL) 1 Cleveland (H) 0
Bullet Joe
Bush (7-3, 2.00) threw a four-hit shutout as the Athletics have their eye
on moving out of eighth place and past the Indians. Ed Klepfer
(1-4, 2.01) threw a three-hitter but allowed a run to score in the top of the
second, and took the loss.
Detroit
(H) 7 New York (AL) 1
The
Tigers got off to a fast start with two runs in the first, and then three more
in the third as five Yankees' errors severely hindered the Bombers' chances of
advancing on Detroit in the standings. Detroit left fielder Bobby Veach
led the Detroit offense by going 4-for-5 (.285) with three runs scored, two
RBI's, and a double. Earl
Hamilton (1-3, 3.21) picked up his first complete game since having been
acquired from St. Louis several weeks ago. Ray Fisher
(7-3, 3.17) took the loss.
St.
Louis (AL) (H) 6 Boston (AL) 2

| Everett Scott |
Note: Boston (AL) shortstop Everett Scott was inserted as a defensive replacement late in the game on 06/05/1916, starting a string of 1,307 consecutive games, all played at shortstop. He will complete the streak as a Yankee on 05/06/1925. It will be the best until Lou Gehrig’s 2,130. Update: This quote is likely incorrect. According to Scott's batting log in BBR, the more accurate date was likely 06/21/1916.
Brooklyn
(H) 9 St. Louis (NL) 0
The
Robins jumped on Slim Sallee
(1-6, 5.58) for five runs in the bottom of the second and were able to cruise
home for the win. Larry
Cheney (4-3, 1.52) scattered four hits as he went all the way for the victory.
Cheney also went 2-for-3 (.130) at the plate with two runs scored, an RBI, and
a double.
New York
(NL) (H) 4 Chicago (NL) 3
The Cubs
scored three times in the top of the first, all three runs scoring after two
outs had been reported. Fred
Anderson (4-3, 3.03) tightened up from there and held Chicago scoreless the
rest of the way, and the Giants came back to get the win. New York scored a run
in the second, and then in the bottom of the fourth, they scored three times to
take the lead, the big hit being a two-run double by Anderson that put the
Giants ahead to stay.
Philadelphia
(NL) (H) 8 Pittsburgh 3
When the
Phillies scored two runs in the bottom of the first, the hometown fans figured
that Grover
Alexander (9-3, 0.75) had more than enough run support, but Alexander
uncharacteristically gave up three runs in the third to give the Pirates a 3-2
lead. But today was a day for the Philadelphia offense as they collected
seventeen hits and roared away to a decisive win over their cross-state rival.

| Slim Sallee |
From Sallee's SABR biography (Link): But Sallee finally tired of an organization that did not share his eagerness to win. On June 16, 1916, while in New York, Sallee tore up his $6,000 contract and announced to Miller Huggins that he would no longer play for the Cardinals, claiming to be “through with baseball.” He was suspended and fined when he returned home to Higginsport, OH. No one took his retirement seriously, figuring he was trying to force the Cardinals to trade him. St. Louis team owners insisted that they would not be forced into a trade and turned down several offers. However, a few weeks later John McGraw convinced Sallee to come out of retirement, and he was eventually sold to the New York Giants for $10,000. While Huggins claimed he knew of no wrongdoing, it was widely believed the Giants tampered with Sallee. National League President John Tener said, “No other deal like that will be sanctioned while I am in office,” and rules were established to prevent a player’s retirement being held over a team’s head in order to force a trade. Joining New York in late July 1916, Sallee contributed several wins to the Giants' all-time major league best 26-game winning streak, finishing 9-4 with a microscopic 1.37 ERA.
Washington
7 Chicago (AL) (H) 0
Chicago
future Hall-of-Famer Ed Walsh
(0-1, 5.40) made his first appearance of the season, and only a crucial E3 by
first baseman Jack Ness
kept Walsh from getting out of the first inning unscathed. Walsh then threw
four scoreless innings, but in the sixth, he tired, and the Nationals added on,
and Walsh had to be replaced. Harry
Harper (8-6, 1.62) threw a two-hit shutout to get the win.
Cleveland
(H) 5 Philadelphia (AL) 0
The
Indians scored a run in the bottom of the third, and it looked like that might
be all of the scoring in this one, but in the bottom of the eighth, a broken bat
single by Elmer
Smith brought home two runs, and then, before the inning was over, Ray
Chapman slugged a two-out two-run triple to ice the game for Cleveland. Jim Bagby
(5-3, 1.86) shut out the A's on six hits to get the win over Elmer Myers
(2-10, 5.33).
New York
(AL) 5 Detroit (H) 2
New York
scored twice in the top of the first and slowly added on additional runs from
there, but the Yankees were still frustrated because they accumulated seventeen
hits in the game but could never get the key hit to put the game away. Earl
Hamilton (1-4, 3.75) repeatedly slithered out of tough spots and kept the
Tigers in the game, but was outdueled by Nick Cullop
(3-1, 1.21), who only allowed two unearned runs, both scored on a single
passed ball in the bottom of the sixth.
Boston
(AL) 5 St. Louis (AL) (H) 2
Babe Ruth
(9-4, 1.50) lost his shutout when the Browns scored in the eighth inning, but
the outcome was never in doubt as the Red Sox scored twice in the top of the
first and soon led 5-0 after the fourth, Center fielder Tillie
Walker had three crucial RBI's and did the most damage to his former
teammates.
Cincinnati
0 Boston (NL) (H) 0 (16) (Tie Game!)

Brooklyn
(H) 6 St. Louis (NL) 0
The
Robins scored a single run in the bottom of the first and led for the whole
game, but it was their five-run seventh that locked the game up. Jeff
Pfeffer (11-0, 0.74) threw a three-hit shutout and got the win over Lee Meadows
(7-6, 2.07).
New York
(NL) (H) 1 Chicago (NL) 0 (12)
A
pitcher's duel as Rube Benton
went nine innings before being lifted for a pinch-hitter, leaving the game with
nine scoreless innings under his belt. Hippo
Vaughn (6-7, 1.41) finally took the loss when, with two outs in the
twelfth, second baseman Larry Doyle
singled, stole second base, and then scored when center fielder Benny Kauff
singled him home
Philadelphia
(NL) (H) 3 Pittsburgh 1
A tight
game, but this time the Phillies did enough to pull out the win for Al Demaree
(4-4, 2.02). Philadelphia took a 1-0 lead in the first and then added single
runs in the fourth and fifth innings to build up a lead they would never give
up. Frank
Miller (0-5, 3.86) remained winless but pitched a strong game as well.

New York
(AL) 4 Detroit (H) 0
Ty Cobb
has both of Detroit's hits (singles) off lefty George
Mogridge (3-1, 1.01). but the rest of the Tigers' offense was otherwise
strangled as Mogridge cruised to the shutout victory. Harry
Coveleski (8-4, 2.27) gave up three runs in the top of the fourth, two runs
scoring on sacrifice flies, and took the loss.
St.
Louis (AL) (H) 2 Boston (AL) 1
The Red
Sox scored a run in the top of the second, but they couldn't add on from there,
and the Browns came back when they tied the game at 1-1 with a run in the seventh
and then took the lead with a second run in the bottom of the eighth. St. Louis
had six stolen bases in the game, but only got the win with the late-inning
rally. Ernie
Shore (4-3, 1.70) got the loss in relief, with little-used reliever Tim McCabe
(1-0, 6.75) getting the win.
Cincinnati
11 Boston (NL) (H) 1
In a
battle for third place in the NL, Boston would like to cut into the Cincinnati
lead, but not today as the Reds built up a sizable lead early in the game, and
then in the top of the eighth, the Reds scored five times (four unearned),
thanks to a pair of outfield errors. Clarence
Mitchell (6-2, 2.52) picked up the win, with Pat Ragan
(3-4, 2.55) getting the loss.
St.
Louis (NL) 6 Brooklyn (H) 2
The
Cardinals scored twice in the second, and then they added four runs in the

too late.

then Philadelphia salted the game away when they scored three times in the
bottom of the eighth. Eppa Rixey

(AL) 3 Chicago (AL) (H) 2
The Red
Sox took a lead in the mid-game, and Dutch
Leonard (10-1, 1.36) was virtually unhittable for most of the game, but
then in the bottom of the ninth, the White Sox loaded the bases, scored two
runs, and loaded the bases again, all before Leonard could get the final out.
Cleveland
(H) 1 New York (AL) 0
A
pitcher's duel as neither team could score until the bottom of the eighth when
Cleveland hurler Stan
Coveleski (4-6, 3.17) broke open the scoreless game when he smacked a
two-out homerun to put the Indians ahead 1-0. Ray
Caldwell (4-7, 1.84) took the loss despite only allowing four hits in the
game.

St. Louis (AL) (H) 9 Washington 2
The
Browns' offense has often slumbered, but today, while supplemented with eight
walks, they pounded several pitchers from the Washington staff to get the win. Eddie Plank
(4-4, 2.25) stumbled in his previous outing, but he had the good stuff today as
he kept the Nationals off the scoreboard until the ninth inning.
Pittsburgh
3 Boston (NL) (H) 2
The
Pirates scored a run in the top of the first, but that was all the scoring
until the Braves put up two runs in the seventh to take a 2-1 lead. Pittsburgh
tied it up at 2-2 with a run in the eighth, and then after two outs in the
ninth, first baseman Doc
Johnston singled home second baseman Jim Viox
to put the visitors ahead 3-2. Al Mamaux
(5-8, 2.99) finished with a 1-2-3 ninth to get the win over Ed Reulbach
(2-1, 1.15).
Brooklyn

Wheezer Dell
(6-2, 0.74) continued his marvelous start to the season as he held the Cubs
scoreless until the ninth but got out of a sticky spot in the ninth to claim
the win. George
McConnell (6-5, 2.40) pitched a strong game as well but gave up a pair of
RBI's hits to Robins' catcher Jack Meyers
and took the loss.
St.
Louis (NL) 2 New York (NL) (H) 0
Steamboat
Williams (2-3, 4.42) got a chance to make a spot start for the Cardinals
today, and he responded by hurling a five-hit shutout over the second-place
Giants. Third baseman Rogers
Hornsby stroked two triples in the game but would only score on one. The
other St. Louis run occurred when right fielder Owen Wilson
sliced a line drive down the left field line for a homerun (2).
Philadelphia
(NL) (H) 1 Cincinnati 0
The
Phillies won their fifth game in a row in a most exciting fashion. In the
bottom of the eighth, Grover
Alexander (10-3, 0.70) led off the inning with a double, was then advanced
to third on a sacrifice bunt, and then scored when a sure third out was bobbled
by Reds second baseman William
Louden. Alexander finished the ninth unscathed and completed his fifth
shutout of the season.

The
Athletics took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning, and for a while it looked like
that might be the final score in the game. The Tigers finally got on the board
with two unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth, and Jean Dubuc
(6-4, 1.97) gladly took the win, with Hooks Dauss
coming in to close out the ninth, and Jack Nabors
(2-6, 4.24) getting the loss.

Griffith provided the offense with two sacrifice flies to put the Reds
ahead for good.
