WORLD CHAMPS AGAIN June 15, 1915 ... Today's dame was postponed due to rain and will be made up as a doubleheader when the Indians come back to Boston in August. Thirteen games will be played as doubleheaders from June 25th thru August 7th due to postponements. That means eight games a week for six weeks. |

June 16, 1915 ... The Red Sox made it three straight over Cleveland by beating them 4-3 at Fenway Park. The Indians made their runs in the first two innings, two of the three on a fumble and wild throw by Dick Hoblitzell. Ernie Shore pitched for Boston and was very erratic. He started in the first inning by hitting Joe Jackson on the head. Jackson laid on the ground for several minutes and was finally escorted to the dugout. He pitched another ball that went three yards wide of the catcher. His wildness gave Pinch Thomas the chance to show how good he was behind the plate, making some great saves. Guy Morton was on the mound for Cleveland and has won eight of his twelve games pitched this season. He pitched splendidly except for the fourth inning, in which the Red Sox scored all their runs. He passed Heinie Wagner and then passed Tris Speaker. Duffy Lewis after two unsuccessful bunt attempts, drove one into left field to load the bases. Hobby next drove one down the left field line, scoring Wagner and Speaker. With Hobby on second and Lewis on third, Hal Janvrin grounded out. But both runners were driven in by Larry Gardner's single to center. Shore worked his way out of trouble a couple of times but continued to pitch better as the game progressed. This was a great win for the Red Sox as they close in on the American League leaders, Detroit and Chicago who both lost. The St. Louis Browns arrived in town and watched the game from front seats. Harry Hooper was out for practice and on the coaching lines and appears to make his return soon. |
