With little to lose given the large lead that Boston enjoys in the American League race, it turned to the recently called up rookie Ralph Caldwell for a late-season start. Caldwell was selected as the 12th overall pick in the 1903 draft, and has been dominating Double-A / Triple-A this season. He did not disappoint in his start, as the Boston Americans (80-56) topped the Chicago White Sox (57-79) by a score of 6 to 0. Granted this was against a team with the worst record in MLB, and a team that committed 5 errors on the day but it was nonetheless an impressive first start.

Ralph Caldwell (1-0) earned the victory in his first career start, limiting the visitors to just 6 hits and 1 walk while striking out 7 in his 128-pitch shutout effort; Game Score 81. Bill Phillips (11-21) was tagged with the loss after he allowed 6 runs (5 earned) on 12 hits in 7 innings of play; Game Score 31. Sadie McMahon covered the final inning in scoreless fashion.

The Boston bats were hot today, led by Johnny Lush (3 for 4, Double, 2 Runs, 2 RBIs, Stolen Base), Chick Stahl ( 2for 5, Double, 2 Runs, RBI), Frank Chance (2 for 5, Double, Run, Stolen Base), and Danny Shay (2 for 4, Run, RBI, 2 Stolen Bases). Sherry Magee (1 for 3, Triple, Walk) and Bill Phillips (2 for 2) played well in the loss.

Player of the Game: Ralph Caldwell (Season: #1 / Career: #1)
