Transactions: N/A

 

New York (AL) 1 Chicago (AL) (H) 0

 

George Mogridge (2-0, 1.37) held the hometown White Sox to only two hits as he went all the way for the shutout victory. Jim Scott (2-4, 1.84) only allowed four hits, but a Frank Gilhooley single in the eighth was followed by a hit-and-run single by Lee Magee that placed Gilhooley on third, and Joe Gedeon hit a sacrifice to score Gilhooley with the game's only run.

 

Boston (AL) 1 Cleveland (H) 0

 

The Red Sox shut out the Indians 4-0 on Saturday, Carl Mays no-hit/shut out the Indians on Sunday, and today Babe Ruth (8-3, 1.55) delivered a third consecutive shutout. Backup right fielder Olaf Henriksen led off the top of the eighth with a single, was sacrificed to second by backup second baseman Mike McNally, and then one batter later, first baseman Dick Hoblitzell delivered a single to bring home Henriksen with the game's only run. Fritz Coumbe (2-7, 2.51) pitched a masterful game but had little to show for it.

 

Detroit (H) 3 Washington 2

 

The Nationals scored twice in the top of the fifth to take a 2-1 lead, but in the bottom of the seventh, a pair of infield errors led to a two-run rally for the Tigers, who then took a 3-2 lead. Jean Dubuc (4-4, 2.41) held on for the complete-game victory, with Harry Harper (7-5, 1.73) taking the loss.

 

Boston (NL) (H) 3 Chicago (NL) 1

 

Art Nehf
The Braves scored three times in the bottom of the third, the surprise hit being a double by Art Nehf (1-2, 3.04) that put runners on second and third with no outs and opened the door for a Boston rally. The Cubs finally scored a run in the top of the seventh, but Nehf was unfazed and was able to go all the way for the win over Gene Packard (1-3, 2.85).

Brooklyn (H) 4 Pittsburgh 1

 

Pittsburgh center fielder Max Carey started the game off with a solo homerun (2), but that was the only highlight as the Robins scored three runs in the bottom of the second and then walked away with the home win. Sherry Smith (4-4, 2.38) gave up Carey's homerun but only allowed two hits afterward as he went all the way for the win. Frank Miller (0-4, 3.98) had one bad inning, but that was enough as he got stuck with the loss.

 

Cincinnati 1 New York (NL) (H) 0

 

Giants fans went to the Polo Grounds today expecting a pitcher's duel in a game between the second-place Giants and the third-place Reds, and that was what they got. Jeff Tesreau (5-4, 1.24) held Cincinnati scoreless until the top of the seventh when shortstop Buck Herzog singled home Tommy Griffith to put the visitors ahead 1-0. Fred Toney (9-2, 1.49) threw a two-hit shutout to keep the Reds in the NL pennant race.

 

St. Louis (NL) 9 Philadelphia (NL) (H) 4

 

The Cardinals pounded the Phillies pitchers by scoring three runs in each of the second, fourth, and sixth innings, paving the way for Bill Doak (5-3, 2.47) to go all the way for the win. Frustrated Phillies fans were happy to see right fielder Gavvy Cravath smack a homerun (2) in the bottom of the eighth, hoping it is a portent of a soon-to-be-surging Phillies team.

 

Tuesday, June 6, 1916

 

Transactions:

 

St. Louis (NL) pitcher Charley Hall returned to the mound on 06/07/1916

 

Detroit 6 Boston (AL) (H) 1


Vean Gregg
In the only AL game of the day, the Tigers ended the Red Sox's scoreless streak when they scored a run in the bottom of the second, and they added two runs in both the third and fourth innings, opening a big lead for Hooks Dauss (7-2, 1.76). Dauss only allowed five hits to Boston, but spoiled his own shutout when he walked home a run in the fourth. Vean Gregg (0-4, 7.67) took the loss.

St. Louis (NL) 1 Boston (NL) (H) 0

 

St. Louis hurler Slim Sallee (1-5, 5.23) has been a mainstay of the Cardinals' rotation over the past several years, but so far this season, he has been affected by arm tenderness, as reflected in his record. He had the good stuff today, though, as he went all the way to defeat Dick Rudolph (4-7, 2.61). Center fielder Bob Bescher singled home catcher Frank Snyder in the top of the fifth for the game's only run, but that was all Sallee needed today.

 

Brooklyn (H) 2 Cincinnati 0

 

First baseman Jake Daubert smacked a solo homerun in the bottom of the first, and that was all Jeff Pfeffer (10-0, 0.82) needed today as he went all the way for the shutout victory. Brooklyn added an insurance run in the sixth, but Clarence Mitchell (5-2, 2.70) didn’t have the necessary run support today with or without the Robins' extra run.

 

New York (NL) (H) 3 Pittsburgh 0

 

Rube Benton (5-1, 2.32) held the Pirates to only three hits as he went all the way for the shutout victory. The Giants took the lead with a run in the bottom of the fifth and then added two more in the ninth on run-scoring doubles from second baseman Larry Doyle and shortstop Art Fletcher.

 

Philadelphia (NL) (H) 4 Chicago (NL) 1

 

The Cubs took the lead with a run in the top of the second, but the Phillies scored four unearned runs in the bottom of the inning, as errors on consecutive sacrifice bunt attempts opened the door for the otherwise struggling Philadelphia offense. Eppa Rixey (2-3, 1.62) threw a three-hitter and took the win, with Hippo Vaughn (6-6, 1.48) taking the loss.

 

Wednesday, June 7, 1916

 

Transactions:

 

Cleveland infielder Ray Chapman returned to play on 06/08/1916

 

St. Louis (AL) (H) 8 New York (AL) 0

 

Pat Ragan
A three-spot in the bottom of the second helped the Browns build an early 4-0 lead, but the big hit was a two-out three-run triple by second baseman Del Pratt in the sixth. Eddie Plank (3-4, 2.43) held the visiting Yankees to two hits on the day and got the win over Ray Keating (2-3, 6.75).

Boston (NL) (H) 6 St. Louis (NL)

 

The Braves have often struggled for runs, but today the first six Boston batters all reached base, and the Braves took a 5-0 lead after the first inning. Pat Ragan (3-3, 1.87) held off a belated Cardinals rally to go all the way for the home win.

Cincinnati pitcher Jim Bluejacket (Season Debut: 07/09/1916) was acquired from Milwaukee (AA) before 07/09/1916

Washington 3 Cleveland (H) 0 (No-Hitter!)

 

Cleveland was no-hit by Carl Mays and the Red Sox last Sunday, and today it was Walter Johnson (7-6, 2.29) who sent the Indians home with no-hits, the third no-hitter of the season. The Nationals plated two runs in the top of the first, and Johnson proceeded to roll over the hometown Indians from there.

 



Walter Johnson
Detroit (H) 3 Boston (AL) 1

Boston scored first with an unearned run in the third, but then two Red Sox errors led to two runs for the Tigers in the bottom half of the inning. Jean Dubuc (5-4, 2.10) only gave up two hits and went all the way for the win over Babe Ruth (8-4, 1.53).

 

St. Louis (AL) (H) 3 New York (AL) 1

 

Dave Davenport (7-4, 2,11) held New York to only three hits but lost his shutout in the top of the ninth when George Sisler, playing center field today, misplayed a fly to center into a "little league homerun." Davenport got the final few outs afterward to get the complete-game victory over the visiting Yankees.

 

Saturday, June 10, 1916

 

Transactions:

 

Cleveland outfielder Clyde Engle made his Major League Finale on 06/09/1916

 

Chicago (AL) (H) 2 Washington 1

 

With two outs in the top of the ninth, left fielder Charlie Jamieson singled home third baseman Eddie Foster with the first run of the game. Harry Harper (7-6, 1.76) just needed three outs to close out the game with a win, but in the bottom half of the inning, center fielder Happy Felsch knocked a two-out triple that scored Eddie Collins to tie the game at 1-1. Before the fans had a chance to take their seats, Harper unloaded a wild pitch, bringing home Felsch with the game-winner. Mellie Wolfgang (2-1, .77) went all the way for the win.

 

Philadelphia (AL) 4 Cleveland (H) 2

 

Cleveland fans expressed their anger towards the poor performance of the Indians, especially after the Athletics scored three times in the top of the first. Stan Coveleski (3-6, 3.65) settled down from there, but the damage was done, and Tom Sheehan (2-4, 5.44) went all the way for the win.

 

Boston (AL) 6 St. Louis (AL) (H) 2

 

A three-run fourth put the Red Sox up 3-1, and Dutch Leonard (9-1, 1.30) mowed down the Browns as he went all the way for the win. Boston catcher Pinch Thomas had the big day with the bat as his two-out two-run single in the fourth was the big hit of the inning, and then his sacrifice fly later in the game brought home a much-needed insurance run.

 

St. Louis (NL) 1 Brooklyn (H) 0

 

Rogers Hornsby
Cardinals' third baseman Rogers Hornsby doubled home center fielder Tom Long in the top of the fourth for the game's only run as Lee Meadows (7-5, 1.74) shut out the league-leading Robins on only five hits. Wheezer Dell (5-2, 0.70) remains sharp to start the season, but he could have used some runs today.

Chicago (NL) 2 New York (NL) (H) 1

 

With two outs and two on in the top of the ninth, pinch-hitter William Fischer lined a single to right to bring home the tying run, but when the ball skipped away from right fielder Dave Robertson, a second run came around to score, and Jimmy Lavender (4-4, 2.70) and the Cubs suddenly found themselves with the lead. Lavender finished the game with a 1-2-3 ninth, handing the heartbreaking loss to Pol Perritt (4-2, 1.00).

Transactions:

 

Philadelphia (AL) pitcher Cap Crowell made his Major League Finale on 06/10/1916

 

Washington 3 Chicago (AL) (H) 3

 

The Nationals moved off to an early lead as starting pitcher Joe Boehling (2-4, 3.31) contributed an RBI double in the second and then added an RBI single in the fourth. Now with Boehling staked to an early 4-1 lead, the White Sox scored a run in the eighth and another in the ninth to make it close, but Washington was able to gun down a runner trying to score the tying run to end the game in an exciting finish.

 

Cleveland (H) 12 Philadelphia (AL) 7

 

The Indians came into town riding a six-game losing streak that included having been no-hit twice. Meanwhile, the A's arrived in Cleveland still finding themselves in last place, but only 1.5 games behind the struggling Indians. The boos in League Park started early as the A's scored single runs in each of the first three innings to take the early lead, but Cleveland managed to stay close, and then in the bottom of the fourth, Indians fans were treated to a six-run outburst. Washington answered with four runs in the top of the fifth to pull to within 8-7, but Cleveland came back with two of their own in the bottom half of the inning. Jim Bagby (4-3, 2.17) got the win in relief, while Elmer Myers (2-9, 5.30) got the loss.

 

New York (AL) 7 Detroit (H) 1

 

Just a few days ago, it was New York fighting Detroit for second place in the AL, but after a few Tigers wins, the Yankees found themselves in fourth place and in a tangle with Washington. Frank "Homerun" Baker lived up to his nickname as he swatted two homeruns (5, 6) to lead the Yankees' offense to the easy win. Ray Caldwell (4-6, 1.91) went all the way for the win, plus he had two RBI's to help his own cause.

1916 BBW Replay - Preparation

Image
I completed my 1938 BBW Replay in December and have spent the winter months getting my 1916 BBW Replay ready to start. Retirement may have issues, but being able to spend my time playing APBA is not one of them. I had previously purchased the 1916 disk and card set last summer in anticipation of kicking this off. The disk has 400 players included on it, which means I had to add 127 additional players to complete the set. That is a lot of players. Why so many? There are several reasons:   There is always some level of churn every season with players getting their proverbial "cup of coffee" with the big club, and this season is no different. Many (most) of these players spent the majority of their summer on a minor league team somewhere, but for a few weeks, they got to ride the trains and stay in nicer hotels while at the top of the baseball food chain. There were various minor leagues, and they had agreements as to what level the leagues we...

1916 BBW Replay Week 3 Summary - April 24-30, 1916

Philadelphia (NL) Manager Pat Moran Week Three of the 1916 BBW Replay is in the books, and it was another interesting week of baseball. In both leagues, the East Coast teams are still playing on the East Coast, facing their East Coast brethren, and of course, the Midwest teams are still moving about the Midwest to get their early games in. Unfortunately, the NL teams have had a streak of bad weather to contend with, and by the end of Week Three, they find themselves having played twelve fewer games than the AL. It is early, and this should be easy to rectify over the course of the upcoming season. Every team is eyeing the upcoming roster cutdown date, so while teams do have a regular starting lineup, managers are always looking to slip in a prospect or two to get them at-bats or a few innings pitched before making a final roster decision. Several players have been farmed out already, and several more are in the queue this coming week. Many of these players won't appear again at t...

1916 BBW Summary Week 5 Results - May 8-14, 1916

Brooklyn Manager Wilbert Robinson Week Five of the 1916 BBW Replay is in the books, and it was another week dominated by pitching (as it should be). Shutouts, extra innings, and games coming down to the last at-bat … it all makes for a fun and interesting replay. In the AL, Boston still holds on to its lead in the standings, as it is second in both team hitting and pitching (but last in team fielding). Mostly, they just seem to know when they need the runs or when they can back off and rely on their strong pitching. Washington and Detroit remain right on their heels, and both would love to move into the top spot, but both have struggled to provide a consistent attack, whether with the bat or with their pitching.   In the NL, Brooklyn slipped past Chicago into first place as of the end of the Sunday games. Their lead is but a few more percentage points, with Chicago maintaining a 0.5 game lead. Brooklyn ended the week on a four-game win streak, and has gone 8-2 over their prev...
