INJURIES: J.Gibson (CRAW) - 34 Games.

The Pittsburgh Crawfords win their league-record 12th straight game, in another close contest with the 71' Giants, this one comes at a price as the Crawfords lose Josh Gibson to the DL, after he slid hard into second base. Fran Healy hit a three-run HR for the Giants in the fourth inning. Sam Bankhead, Popeye Harris & Jimmy Crutchfield all had three hits each for the Crawfords.

A weird game in which the team with twice the amount of hits as the other team, went to extra innings and actually lost. The Cards surrendered a 3-0 lead entering the 6th inning. Willie Davis went 3-for-4, triple, 2 RBI's, sac fly & BB for the Dodgers.

Ruth has been on fire recently, 11 RBI's in 2 games.

The Bombers had back-to-back games for 11 runs, led once again by Babe Ruth -- going 3-for-4, 2 HR's & 6 RBI with a BB.

Last 2 games for Ruth: 5-for-8, 3 HRs (one Grand Slam), 11 RBI, 2B, 3B & 2 BB's. He easily doubled his RBI totals for the season.
