No Cato for this one....
Unfortunately, I cannot get CatoBase to run on this league. I had a small issue develop when I imported the teams from the Federal League. One player came in garbled, so I released him, deleted him and moved on.
But he's back, and causing the players.csv import in CatoBase to stop every time I try to run it. I've deleted him from the players.csv file a number of times, but he keeps reappearing. So, I suppose it's just on with the offseason....

The winter of 1905-06
The Boston Pilgrims fired manager Jimmy Collins in the wake of their 59-95 disaster as defending American League champions. Collins remained with the team as its third baseman, but Charlie Robinson, 49, was brought in to manage the club. He spent last season managing at Decatur of the Illinois-Iowa-Indiana League.
The Washington Senators will also have a new manager. Jake Stahl improved the club from 38 wins to 61, but his hitting suffered. The team turned the reins over to John McGlone, 42, who worked last season at Brenham in the South Texas League. The NABF suffered some defections over the winter as four players left for the National League. Cincinnati signed 1B Charlie Carr from the Pilgrims. Carr hit .190 with one RBI in 42 at-bats. The Reds also nabbed OF Jimmy Barrett from Detroit. Barrett hit .251 with 20 RBI in 88 games for the Tigers. The St. Louis Cardinals were also active, signing a pair of Highlander prospects. Catcher Joe McCarthy headed west after spending all of 1905 in the minor leagues on assignment from New York and lefthander Ambrose Puttmann is going to the Gateway to the West after going 4-3 with a 3.94 ERA in 12 relief appearances for the Highlanders.

Sayre was 0-3 with a 6.94 ERA in nine relief appearances last season. April 14: Buffalo righthander Art Smith left his start at Baltimore in the third inning with a sore shoulder and has landed on the disabled list. Smith was 19-12 for the Blues last season. April 16: Earl Moore was solid in his first start of the season, holding St. Louis to just two hits in Cleveland’s 7-0 win at Sportsman’s Park. Moore walked one and fanned three. New York activated righthander Jack Chesbro from the DL. Chesbro had been sidelined since last September with a back injury after going 21-9 with a 2.07 ERA in 34 starts. Washington claimed righthander Frank Oberlin off waivers from Detroit. Oberlin was signed by the Tigers in the offseason as an amateur free agent. April 18: The Senators continued to work the waiver wire, this time landing catcher John Warner from New York. Warner was signed by the Highlanders as a free agent in the offseason after he hit .255 in 41 games with the National League’s St. Louis club last year. April 21: Red Kleinow’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth made a winner of Clark Griffith and the Highlanders at Hilltop Park, 1-0 over Washington. Griffith struck out six and walked one, allowing just two hits. April 22: Philadelphia claimed catcher Ira Thomas off waivers from the Senators. Thomas was signed as an amateur free agent by Washington over the winter. April 24: Detroit rookie Glenn Liebhardt had a debut to remember, shutting down Washington on one-hit in the Tigers’ 5-3 win at Bennett Park. Liebhardt walked one and struck out three. The news was not as good for Cleveland righthander Earl Moore, who suffered his first loss of the season in a 7-0 shellacking against Chicago. Moore left in the ninth inning with soreness in his arm and was placed on the DL. Moore is 2-1 with a 2.73 ERA in three starts this year. The Highlanders activated OF Patsy Dougherty from the DL. He pulled a muscle in his leg in spring training. April 27: St. Louis lefthander Noodles Hahn will be out for at least a month after leaving his start against the White Sox with a very sore arm. Hahn is 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA in four starts for the Browns after Cincinnati released him in the offseason. Washington activated lefthander Beany Jacobson from the DL after he had been out since early in spring training with a sore elbow. April 29: Buffalo activated righthander Art Smith from the DL. New Orleans placed righthander Greg Copley on the DL after he suffered broken ribs in an altercation at a New Orleans establishment.

Densmore recorded a .343 average in 102 May at-bats, with two home runs and 13 RBI. On the year, Densmore is hitting .323 with two homers and 22 RBI. AL Pitcher of the Month: Boston righthander George Winter. Winter was 4-2 in seven starts in May, recording an 0.84 ERA with nine walks and 15 strikeouts in 64 innings. FL Pitcher of the Month: Buffalo righthander Dick Bishop. Bishop notched a 1.33 ERA and was 5-2 in seven starts, walking 13 and fanning 13 in 61 innings. May Highlights May 1: Hobe Ferris’ infield single in the seventh inning was the only blemish on a masterpiece by Ed Walsh at South Side Park, as the White Sox beat the Pilgrims 4-0. Walsh needed just 86 pitches to finish off Boston, recording one strikeout. Ferris was thrown out trying to steal second and Walsh faced the minimum 27 hitters. May 2: Milwaukee righthander Bill Hamlett allowed only one hit, a fifth-inning single by Ted Grams, and survived five free passes in shutting out Pittsburgh at Exposition Park, 2-0. May 4: Newark claimed shortstop Simon Nicholls off waivers from the Highlanders. Nicholls had been assigned to the minor leagues since signing with New York as a free agent over the winter. May 7: Barney Pelty improved to 5-1, firing a one-hit shutout as the Browns blanked the White Sox 1-0 at South Side Park. Harry Niles spoiled the no-hit bid with a seventh-inning double. Pelty needed just 76 pitches, as he recorded neither a walk nor a strikeout in the game. Ray Warfield authored a similar performance at Exposition Park, leading the Rebels to a 3-0 win over visiting New Orleans. Warfield (4-2) allowed only two hits and threw just 88 pitches. May 9: Bill Bernhard pitched a one-hitter and Cleveland banged out 15 hits in a 4-0 win over the Pilgrims at Huntington Avenue Grounds. Bernhard (5-1) walked one and struck out one. Bob Unglaub had Boston’s only hit, a single in the third inning. May 12: Frank Smith allowed only two hits and logged six strikeouts as the White Sox beat the Athletics 3-0 at South Side Park. Smith (3-4) allowed just one walk. May 14: Roger Spindler picked up his first win of the year, firing a two-hitter as the Rebels logged a 4-0 win over Indianapolis at Exposition Park. Spindler (1-3) walked one and struck out one. May 15: Milwaukee acquired shortstop Pete O’Brien off waivers from the Highlanders. O’Brien, signed by New York in the offseason, had played this season in the minors. May 19: New Orleans activated righthander Greg Copley from the DL. He had been out recovering from broken ribs. May 24: How tough is it for Philadelphia to win? Chief Bender threw a no-hitter at Cleveland … and lost. The Naps beat the Athletics, 1-0, at League Park despite Bender’s heroics. Cleveland got its only run in the bottom of the fourth. Elmer Flick reached with two outs when Topsy Hartsel misplayed a fly ball in left field. Flick stole second and then Philadelphia center fielder Danny Hoffman mishandled Nap Lajoie’s liner, allowing Flick to score. Hartsel, meanwhile, had the only hit of the game, a single in the top of the fifth, as Red Donahue was also pitching well. Donahue (4-4) walked two and fanned one. Bender (3-2) logged four strikeouts and issued one walk. May 25: Charlie Smith had his best stuff working at South Side Park, pitching Washington to a 3-0 win over the White Sox. Smith (6-3) allowed only two hits, finishing with one walk and four strikeouts. May 26: Ed Walsh pitched a two-hitter and Chicago posted a 3-0 win over Washington at South Side Park. Walsh (6-4) struck out six in the game. Cleveland activated righthander Earl Moore from the DL. Moore had been out for more than a month with a sore arm. May 27: Dave Spence led off the bottom of the eighth with a single and Art Smith had to settle for a one-hitter as the Blues shut down the Sailors at Meadowbrook Oval, 2-0. Smith (4-2) walked two and fanned three. May 28: Baltimore got a 7-4 win over the Brewers at Athletic Park in Milwaukee, but lost righthander Kirk Brown for awhile after his hand was broken in the third inning. Brown was hit in the pitching hand by a line drive off the bat of Dave Ramsdell and will miss at least a month. He is 4-3 this year with an ERA of 2.41 in 11 starts. May 29: It just gets worse for the defending champion Athletics. Left fielder Topsy Hartsel was placed on the disabled list after Philadelphia’s 2-0 loss at Columbia Park to the Tigers. Hartsel was hurt in the seventh inning, diving to catch a fly ball by Detroit’s Chris Lindsay. While it is not believed Hartsel broke any ribs, he is experiencing a lot of soreness in his rib area. He is hitting .219 with 11 RBI this year. May 30: New York placed lefthander Doc Newton on the DL with a sore elbow. He left after the first inning of the Highlanders’ 2-0 win in the opener of a doubleheader at Washington. He is 5-3 with a 3.03 ERA in 10 starts. Washington righthander Charlie Smith left in the ninth inning of the same game, also with a sore elbow. A broken bone was discovered and he is expected to miss at least two months. Smith is 6-4 for the Senators with a 1.63 ERA in 11 starts. May 31: Buffalo had a rough day in a 3-2 loss at Baltimore. The Blues lost righthander Art Smith to the DL for the second time this year, this time with a sore shoulder. Smith is 4-2 with a 2.96 ERA in eight starts. Buffalo also placed second baseman Tim Thomas on the DL after he left the game with a sore shoulder. Thomas is batting .294 this season, with two home runs and 20 RBI.

June: 4-1, 0.59 ERA in 7 GS; Season: 9-4, 1.51 in 16 GS June Highlights June 1: St. Louis activated lefthander Noodles Hahn from the DL. Hahn had been out since April 27 with a sore arm. June 4: Doc White allowed just two hits, pitching the White Sox to an 8-0 win over the Tigers at Bennett Park. White (4-6) struck out five and walked one. June 5: Rube Waddell pitched his third no-hitter in two seasons, blanking the Pilgrims at Columbia Park as the Athletics posted a 1-0 win. Waddell (7-4) walked two and struck out four in the game. Danny Hoffman chased home the game’s only run with an RBI single in the first inning. Boston’s Joe Harris (3-7) allowed only three hits but took the tough-luck loss. Nap Lajoie went 3-for-5, including a double and a home run, driving in three runs in Cleveland’s 10-6 win over the Highlanders at Hilltop Park. June 6: George Moriarty smacked three doubles and walked twice, scoring three times and knocking in a pair of runs as the Highlanders crushed the Naps, 9-0, at Hilltop Park. June 8: Newark claimed outfielder Jack Hayden off waivers from the Highlanders. Hayden had spent the first two months of the season in the minors after being one of New York’s plethora of free-agent signings in the offseason. June 9: Nixey Callahan cracked a double and a home run on his way to a 3-for-4 day at the plate as the Rebels blanked the Hoosiers, 7-0, at West Washington Street Park. Callahan drove in a pair of runs. June 13: New York third baseman George Moriarty hurt his elbow in the Highlanders’ 5-0 win over the Browns at Hilltop Park and was placed on the DL. Moriarty is hitting .206 this year, with 11 RBI. June 14: Rookie Ed Willett had the best performance of his young career, firing a two-hit shutout as the Packers downed the Sailors 2-0 at Exposition Park. Willett (5-4) walked two and fanned six. Andy Osborn provided the offense with a two-run single for Kansas City. Cleveland righthander Bill Bernhard hurt his elbow in the sixth inning of the Naps’ 4-3 loss at Washington and was placed on the DL. Bernhard is 7-5 with a 2.49 ERA in 14 starts this year. Philadelphia activated left fielder Topsy Hartsel from the DL. June 15: Buffalo activated second baseman Tim Thomas from the DL. Thomas had been out since May 31 with a sore shoulder. June 16: Noodles Hahn was masterful at Bennett Park, pitching a no-hitter in the Browns’ 5-0 win over the Tigers. Hahn (5-1) struck out nine and didn’t walk a batter. Bob Van Buskirk banged out five hits in five at-bats, including a triple, as Baltimore crushed Milwaukee at Oriole Park, 9-0. Washington placed reserve infielder Jim Mullin on the DL after he hurt his elbow in the Senators’ 4-3 win over the White Sox. Mullin is batting just .125 with one RBI in 24 at-bats. Philadelphia claimed outfielder Sam Thompson off waivers from Buffalo. Thompson, 46, was signed by the Blues in the offseason and won a lineup spot in spring training. He hit .246 with one home run and 22 RBI in 52 games with Buffalo. June 17: Willie Keeler did his part, going 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI, but the Highlanders still dropped a 9-6 decision to the Pilgrims at Hilltop Park. Detroit lost teenage phenom Ty Cobb to the DL. The 19-year-old center fielder pulled a muscle in his stomach in the Tigers’ 5-3 loss to the Browns. Cobb is hitting .269 with one home run and 23 RBI this year. June 18: Earl Moore gave Rube Waddell a little of his own medicine, pitching a no-hitter as the Naps beat the Athletics 4-0 at Columbia Park. Moore (6-3) walked five and struck out four in his gem. Rookie Dave Altizer was 3-for-4 with a home run, but the Senators fell to the White Sox, 5-4, at American League Park. June 19: Ben Mays showed last year’s Outstanding Rookie Award was no fluke, pitching a two-hitter in Baltimore’s 2-0 win over Pittsburgh at Oriole Park. Mays (8-5) walked one and fanned four. June 20: Jack Hayden went 3-for-4 with a triple and three RBI as the Sailors blasted the Blues 9-1 at Olympic Park. June 21: Larry Matthews’ one-out single in the eighth spoiled the no-hit bid, but Mark Mitchel settled for a one-hitter as the Terrapins beat the Rebels 2-0 at Oriole Park. Mitchel (8-4) walked one and fanned two. Detroit, looking for infield help, claimed shortstop Tom Dean off waivers from Milwaukee. Dean hit .243 with a homer and 13 RBI in 58 games for the Brewers last year, but had spent all of this season in the minor leagues. June 22: Last year’s American League division champions pulled off a swap, with the Naps sending outfielder Bunk Congalton and minor-league pitcher Bill Woodson to Philadelphia in exchange for righthander Weldon Henley. Congalton hadn’t played much this season, hitting .273 with four RBI in 22 at-bats for Cleveland, while Woodson had been in the minors all year. Henley had not made an appearance all season, losing his relief ace role to rookie Tom Hughes, after going 6-6 with a 2.54 ERA in 83 games for the Athletics last year. Rube Waddell then went out and pitched Philadelphia to a 3-0 win over the Tigers at Bennett Park. Waddell (10-5) walked one and struck out eight in a one-hit gem. Germany Schaefer had Detroit’s only safety, a double in the second inning. June 23: Willie Keeler went 4-for-5 with two RBI and scored the winning run in the bottom of the 12th on Heinie Wagner’s single as the Highlanders beat the Senators 7-6 at Hilltop Park. June 25: Larry Fannin was 4-for-4 with a double and a triple, but the Rebels fell to the Brewers, 7-6, at Exposition Park. The Highlanders activated Doc Newton from the DL. Newton had been out since May 30 with a sore elbow. Charlie Starr singled home Branch Rickey in the bottom of the 15th inning and the Browns claimed their 10th straight win, 5-4 over the White Sox at Sportsman’s Park. June 26: Chicago and Boston exchanged a pair of players, with outfielder Kip Selbach heading to the White Sox and pitcher Tommy Huffman going to the Pilgrims. Selbach had hit .161 with one RBI in 31 at-bats for Boston. Huffman, a righthander, had made just one appearance for the Chicagos, striking out two batters in 1 1/3 innings of relief. Noodles Hahn continued his strong pitching, leading the Browns to their 11th consecutive victory, 2-0 over the White Sox. Hahn (7-1) fired a two-hitter, walking one and striking out four. June 27: One streak ended, another agonizingly continued – Cleveland handed St. Louis a 3-0 loss at Sportsman’s Park, snapping the Browns’ 11-game winning streak. But the Highlanders won a 3-2 decision over the Tigers at Bennett Park, extending Detroit’s losing streak to 10 games. June 28: Newark and Indianapolis traded pitchers, with the Sailors picking up righthander Dan Woods and lefthander Doug Glover heading to the Hoosiers. Woods was 9-6 with a 1.86 ERA in 18 starts for Indianapolis this year. Glover went 9-3 with a 1.53 ERA in 15 starts for Newark. But the deal went badly for the Hoosiers almost immediately – Glover made it to Buffalo in time to start Thursday’s game, but left in the fourth inning with a sore arm and wound up on the DL. Ed McFarland doubled twice and was 4-for-4 with three RBI as Chicago crushed Boston, 10-3, at South Side Park. New York activated third baseman George Moriarty from the DL. He had been out since June 13 with a sore elbow. Happy Townsend allowed just three hits and the Senators beat the Tigers, 3-0, at American League Park. It was Detroit’s 11th loss in a row. June 29: Nick Altrock threw a two-hitter and the White Sox blanked the Pilgrims, 3-0, at South Side Park. Altrock (8-7) struck out three in the contest. Cleveland activated righthander Bill Bernhard from the DL after he had missed two weeks with a sore elbow. Detroit grabbed rookie lefthander George Leonard off waivers from the Pilgrims. Leonard appeared in just two games for Boston. Then the Tigers went out and beat the Senators, 3-2, to break an 11-game losing streak. Recently acquired Tom Dean had two RBI. June 30: Glenn Liebhardt pitched a two-hitter as the Tigers beat the Senators 5-0. Leibhardt (4-10) walked one and fanned five. But Detroit continued to be bitten hard by the injury bug, as outfielder Duff Cooley was placed on the DL with a sore leg. Cooley is hitting .252 with 12 RBI in 38 games and had been playing regularly since Ty Cobb was hurt earlier this month.

September: 4-1, 0.83 ERA in 6 GS; Season: 18-12, 2.30 in 34 GS September Highlights Sept. 1: Mike Cummings went 5-for-5 with a pair of doubles, scoring three times as Indianapolis outslugged Buffalo at West Washington Street Park, 9-7. Chicago lost 19-year-old rookie righthander Jack Rowan for the season, placing him on the 60-day DL with a sore shoulder. He left in the 11th inning of the White Sox’ 1-0 loss to the Browns. Rowan was 2-5 with a 0.90 ERA in 14 appearances for Chicago, four as a starter. Sept. 6: Baltimore got a boost for the stretch run, activating center fielder Clarence Gaughan from the DL. Gaughan had been out since Aug. 22 with sore ribs. Sept, 12: The Brewers placed righthander Lew Denning on the DL after he left after two innings of Milwaukee’s 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh with a sore shoulder. Denning is 17-9 this year with a 2.75 ERA in 28 starts. George Laughlin drove in the game-winner with a single in the bottom of the ninth to score Jack Doyle and the Pelicans reduced their magic number for clinching their second straight FL West title to 10 with a 3-2 win over Newark while Indianapolis was beaten in Buffalo, 8-4. New Orleans leads the Hoosiers by 11 games. Sept. 13: Rookie Cy Barger allowed just one hit, a single by Bobby Calahan to lead off the sixth, and pitched New Orleans to a 5-0 win over Newark to Athletic Park. Barger (19-11) walked two and struck out four. The Pelicans increased their lead in the FL West to 12 games when Baltimore clobbered Indianapolis, 10-0. Sept. 14: The White Sox suffered another blow to their pitching staff, as lefthander Doc White left with a sore shoulder after just one inning of their 6-4 loss to the Browns. White was placed on the 60-day DL with a 12-17 record and a 1.94 ERA in 34 starts. The White Sox and Browns each trail the Naps by five games in the AL West. Sept. 19: New Orleans pushed across three runs in the top of the fifth and held on for a 4-3 win at Kansas City, clinching no worse than a share of the FL West title. Chris Thompson (21-13) went the distance, giving up three runs on five hits, with a walk and three strikeouts. The Pelicans got help from Milwaukee, as the Brewers beat Indianapolis, 4-2. Sept. 20: Freddy Parent led off the game with a single and it was the last hit Boston would get on the day as Chief Bender finished with a one-hitter as the Athletics took a three-game lead in the AL East over idle New York with a 2-0 win at Columbia Park. Bender (9-10) struck out five and didn’t walk a batter. The Athletics also activated righthander Andy Coakley, out since Aug. 16. Sept. 21: Lave Cross scored on a wild pitch by Boston reliever Dick Nurse in the bottom of the 27th inning and Philadelphia survived for a 9-8 win over the Pilgrims at Columbia Park. Each team used nine pitchers in the game after starters Joe Harris and Rube Waddell each worked the first nine frames. Chief Bender (10-10) came out of the bullpen to get the last two outs in the top of the 27th, one day after pitching a complete-game one-hitter, and earned the win. Milwaukee activated second baseman Larry Schlafly, who hasn’t played since Aug. 1 because of a sore arm. Sept. 24: Philadelphia placed righthander Jimmy Dygert on the DL after he couldn’t make it through the first inning of his start against the Naps because of a sore elbow. The Athletics went on to post a 3-1 win. Dygert is 17-13 with a 1.65 ERA in 37 starts this season. Sept. 25: It took almost a week, but New Orleans finally clinched the FL West title with a 3-2 win at Buffalo. Chris Thompson (22-13) surrendered a pair of runs in the bottom of the ninth but hung on to earn the win. The Pelicans had lost five straight while the Hoosiers had run off five straight wins to delay the celebration. Sept. 26: Baltimore backed into at least a tie for the FL East crown despite a 3-1 loss to the Sailors at Oriole Park. The Terrapins got help from Indianapolis, which beat Pittsburgh 3-2. The Terrapins lead both the Sailors and Rebels by nine games. Ed Hahn’s run-scoring pinch-single in the bottom of the 10th propelled the Highlanders to a 2-1 win over Boston. Jack Chesbro (16-15) went the distance allowing just three hits and an unearned run. New York closed to within a half-game of the Athletics in the AL East when Philadelphia dropped a 6-2 decision to the Naps. Sept. 27: Boston activated lefthander Jesse Tannehill after he spent a month on the DL with a broken hand and Milwaukee brought back righthander Lew Denning, who missed two weeks with a sore shoulder. New York hammered the Browns 7-2 at Hilltop Park but remained a half-game in back of Philadelphia, which rallied for three runs in the bottom of the 11th to beat the White Sox, 5-4. Sept. 28: Clarence Gaughan cracked a solo home run in the sixth inning and Baltimore clinched the FL East title with a 2-1 win over Milwaukee. Bill Underwood (19-9) went the distance, scattering eight hits. John Knight ended the game with a home run down the left field line in the bottom of the ninth and Philadelphia extended its lead in the AL East to one game over idle New York with a 3-2 win over the White Sox at Columbia Park. Sept. 30: Milwaukee activated righthander Keith Paige from the DL. Paige had been out since Aug. 15 with a broken finger. New York lost an opportunity to make up ground on the Athletics, falling 1 ˝ games back in the AL East thanks to a 5-3 loss to the Browns at Hilltop Park.

The home stretch -- October 1906 at a glance
October Highlights Oct. 2: Andy Coakley pulled the Athletics a little closer to a second straight AL East title with a one-hit shutout, outdueling Otto Hess in Philadelphia’s 1-0 win over the Senators at Columbia Park. Coakley (15-13) struck out one and the only baserunner he allowed came on Charlie Jones’ single in the fourth inning. Philadelphia maintained its 2 ˝ game division lead when New York beat the Tigers, 9-3, at Bennett Park. Oct. 3: The Athletics came out of Wednesday with no worse than a tie for the AL East title. While Rube Waddell (21-12) scattered six hits and struck out seven in Philadelphia’s 5-3 win over Washington at Columbia Park, the Highlanders had a disastrous day at Bennett Park, losing both ends of a twinbill to the Tigers. Detroit took the opener 2-1 on Dave Shean’s pinch-hit RBI single in the bottom of the 12th and completed the sweep when Sam Crawford singled home Germany Schaefer in the bottom of the 11th in the nightcap for a 1-0 win. Oct. 4: Despite losing their fourth straight game, the Naps clinched at least a tie for the AL West title when the Browns suffered a 5-4 loss to Boston at Sportsman’s Park. Cleveland could have clinched the title outright but gave up two runs in the top of the 10th inning and fell to the White Sox, 6-4, at League Park. Harry Griffis came within one out of a no-hitter, losing the bid when Pete O’Brien singled with two outs in the ninth. Griffis (11-24) settled for a one-hitter as Newark crushed Milwaukee, 10-0. Griffis recorded one strikeout in the game. Oct. 5: Cleveland finally clinched its second straight AL West title, beating the Browns 4-2 at League Park. Harry Bay and Nap Lajoie had two hits each for the Naps and Bill Bernhard (12-16) scattered five hits for the win. New York stayed alive in the AL East when Lew Drill scored on a throwing error by Harry Barton in the bottom of the 11th inning for a 4-3 win over the Athletics. Boston will give Buck Freeman the last weekend of the season off after his nose was broken by a Roy Patterson fastball in the sixth inning of the Pilgrims’ 2-1 win over the White Sox. Freeman finishes the year with a .239 average, one home run and 51 RBI in 128 games. Oct. 6: The Highlanders refuse to go away, scoring three runs in the first two innings and hanging on for a 3-1 win over the Athletics to close to within a game of Philadelphia. Al Orth (11-17) scattered five hits and allowed only an unearned run, registering six strikeouts. New York can force a one-game playoff with a win over Washington on Sunday and a Philadelphia loss at Detroit. Oct. 7: Philadelphia backed into the AL East title on Sunday, losing at Detroit 3-1 but claiming the division when New York lost a 3-2 decision to Washington. Code:

Pennant Series wrapup
Wednesday, Oct. 10
American League Pennant Series: Game 1 CLEVELAND – The Philadelphia Athletics drew first blood in defense of their American League title on Wednesday, holding on for a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Naps at League Park. Philadelphia took a 4-1 lead with a pair of runs in the top of the ninth. Harry Davis led off with a triple and scored moments later when Earl Moore uncorked a wild pitch. Lave Cross then drove in Topsy Hartsel, who had been intentionally walked, with a ground ball to shortstop. Connie Mack then summoned Bill Dustin from the Philadelphia bullpen to relieve surprise starter Eddie Plank, who was just 4-10 on the year in 12 starts and nine relief appearances. Dustin got Nap Lajoie to ground out to start the inning but then issued back-to-back walks to Elmer Flick and pinch-hitter Eddie Collins before Harry Bay singled to left to score Flick. Rube Vinson then coaxed a walk and Nig Clarke drove home Collins with a fly ball to left. Mack, having seen enough, then yanked Dustin and gave the ball to rookie Tom Hughes, who emerged as the Athletics’ ace reliever with a 7-5 record and 14 saves in 52 appearances. Hughes walked pinch-hitter Harry Bemis to load the bases but escaped when Terry Turner grounded out to end the game. The Athletics had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when John Knight tripled into the alley in right-center and scored on Harry Barton’s grounder to second base. Philadelphia upped its advantage to 2-0 in the fourth. Harry Davis cracked a one-out double and scored one out later when Knight doubled up the gap in left-center. Cleveland finally got a run back in the bottom of the seventh. George Stovall led off the inning with a single. After Lajoie hit into a force play, he scooted to third on Flick’s single to center. Flick was nabbed trying to steal second, but Bill Bradley brought home Lajoie with a single to center. Plank was solid for the Athletics, allowing just four hits and a single tally in eight innings. He walked two and struck out two. Moore took the loss, allowing four runs on seven hits. He walked two and fanned six. Federal League Pennant Series: Game 1 NEW ORLEANS – Ty Holst ripped a two-run home run to cap a three-run eighth inning and the Baltimore Terrapins took the opener of the Federal League Pennant Series, 6-5, over the New Orleans Pelicans at Athletic Park. The Pelicans had opened a 5-3 lead through seven innings. Dan Floyd led off the eighth with a single. After Bill Keller hit into a force play and Clarence Gaughan flied out, Henry Nalley laced a double to deep right field to bring in Keller. Holst followed with his shot down the left-field line. New Orleans had a chance in the bottom of the ninth. Jack Birnbaum legged out an infield hit to start the frame and Bill Carrigan stroked a single to right after consecutive force plays. But George Laughlin popped up with the tying run at second and the Terrapins had the win. Baltimore had taken a 2-0 lead in the second, only to see the Pelicans tie the score in the bottom of the same frame. Then the Terrapins added a single run in the third to lead 3-2 before New Orleans pushed across two runs in the sixth to take a 4-3 lead and added an insurance marker in the bottom of the seventh to pad the advantage to 5-3. Mark Mitchel struggled but got the win for Baltimore. He allowed 11 hits and five earned runs, walking one and striking out three. Rookie Cy Barger took the loss, surrendering nine hits and six runs, five earned. He issued a walk and fanned six. Pelican shortstop Bull Prior was 3-for-5 and drove in three runs in the loss. Thursday, Oct. 11 American League Pennant Series: Game 2 CLEVELAND – Harry Barton hit a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth to give the Athletics a 6-0 lead and Philadelphia hung on behind struggling ace Rube Waddell to take a 2-0 lead in the American League Pennant Series with a 6-4 win over the Cleveland Naps at League Park. The Athletics can close out the series on Saturday at home. Philadelphia had built a 3-0 lead through three innings against Cleveland ace Addie Joss before Barton came up with the bases packed and one out in the sixth. His drive found the gap in left-center field and all three runners came plateward. Cleveland came back with a single tally in the bottom of the seventh, added two more in the eighth and threatened in the ninth. Rube Vinson and Nig Clarke banged out back-to-back singles and pinch-hitter Eddie Collins brought home Vinson with a ground ball out. But Waddell fanned Terry Turner to end the threat and the game. Waddell allowed four runs, three earned, on eight hits and struck out six. He didn’t help his cause by committing a pair of errors. Joss gave up eight hits and six runs, four earned. He also walked three and struck out five. Federal League Pennant Series: Game 2 NEW ORLEANS – Dan Floyd belted a two-run double in the top of the third and Bill Underwood fired a three-hitter as the Baltimore Terrapins took a 2-0 lead in the Federal League Pennant Series with a 2-0 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at Athletic Park. Underwood was masterful, striking out four and walking two. He outdueled Chris Thompson, who surrendered 11 hits and a walk, but only allowed the two markers in the third. It was Underwood who got things stirring in the third with a one-out single. Curly Simmons followed with another safety. After Phil Robinson flied out to deep center, Floyd scorched a sizzling shot inside the bag at first base, scoring both Underwood and Simmons. New Orleans never got a runner to third base all day. In the bottom of the third, George Laughlin and Thompson started the inning with back-to-back hits, but a fly ball and back-to-back grounders to third base ended the threat. Saturday, Oct. 13 Federal League Pennant Series: Game 3 BALTIMORE – Kirk Brown drove in two runs with a second-inning double and pitched a two-hitter to lead the Baltimore Terrapins to a 2-1 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at Oriole Park. Baltimore swept the series in three games to advance to its first Federation Cup Series. Brown’s hit in the second brought home Dan Floyd and Henry Nalley with two outs in the second and then the righthander made it stand up, surviving seven bases on balls. Brown struck out three. Neither of the runs surrendered by New Orleans starter Mike Jarrett were earned as George Laughlin’s misplay of Nalley’s grounder kept the inning alive. Jarrett scattered nine hits and walked two, finishing with four strikeouts. The Pelicans got their only run in the top of the fifth. Bull Prior drew a one-out walk and stole second, scoring one out later on Jack Birnbaum’s single to left field. American League Pennant Series: Game 3 PHILADELPHIA – Facing elimination, Barney Wolfe rose to the occasion in his first-ever postseason start, pitching a five-hitter and leading the Cleveland Naps to a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Athletics at Columbia Park. The Athletics still lead the best-of-five series two games to one. Wolfe walked one and struck out one and was in command all day long. Philadelphia starter Andy Coakley surrendered three runs on seven hits, walking three and fanning two. Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth. With two outs and the bases empty, Nig Clarke smacked a triple into the right-field corner and scored when Terry Turner singled to left. Turner took an extra base when left fielder Topsy Hartsel bobbled the ball and the miscue proved costly when Turner scored on Rube Vinson’s single. The Naps added an insurance marker in the sixth inning. Player-manager Nap Lajoie led off with a double, moved to third on a ground out and scored on Clarke’s single to right. Sunday, Oct. 14 American League Pennant Series: Game 4 PHILADELPHIA – Earl Moore scattered six hits and drove in a run to lead the Cleveland Naps to a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Athletics at Columbia Park, evening the American League Pennant Series at two games apiece. The decisive fifth game will be Tuesday in Cleveland. Moore struck out four and didn’t issue a walk, leveling his record in the series at 1-1. Eddie Plank was solid as well, surrendering six hits and one earned run. He fanned five and also didn’t walk anyone. Rube Vinson led off the Cleveland half of the third with a single and stole second. Nig Clarke laid down a perfect sacrifice to advance Vinson to third and Moore grounded to first base, plating Vinson. Cleveland added an insurance tally in the eighth. Moore led off with a single. After a force out, Terry Turner stole second and moved to third when Harry Barton’s throw was wild. Nap Lajoie then ripped a triple to the right-field corner to score Turner. Philadelphia had chances in the eighth and ninth but came up empty. Lave Cross belted a triple with one out in the eighth, but Moore came back to strike out Eddie Plank and induced a grounder from Danny Murphy to end the threat. Then Bunk Congalton led off the ninth with a double but was picked off second on a nifty move by Moore. Two ground balls later, the Naps had survived. Tuesday, Oct. 16 American League Pennant Series: Game 5 CLEVELAND – George Stovall doubled home what would prove to be the series-clinching run in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Cleveland Naps beat the Philadelphia Athletics 4-2 to advance to the Federation Cup Series. The Naps trailed the American League Pennant Series two games to none, but stormed back for three straight wins to dethrone the defending champions. With the score tied 2-2 in the eighth, Nig Clarke doubled to start the inning. One out later, Terry Turner reached when shortstop John Knight bobbled a ground ball. Stovall followed by cracking a double into the left-field corner to score Clarke. After Nap Lajoie was intentionally walked to load the bases, Elmer Flick’s grounder to shortstop proved deep enough to score Turner. Cleveland had taken a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second. With two outs, Harry Bay and Rube Vinson singled and Clarke then ripped a triple to score both runners. Philadelphia came back to tie the game in the sixth. Bunk Congalton hit a one out single and after he stole second, Danny Hoffman was intentionally walked. Harry Davis’ grounder left runners at first and third. Davis stole second and Topsy Hartsel followed with a single to left-center to score Congalton. Davis also churned around to score when Bay misplayed the ball. Addie Joss scattered six hits, striking out three and walking one to get the win. Rube Waddell suffered his first defeat in postseason play, as he was touched for six hits and three walks. He fanned five. The Naps now face the Baltimore Terrapins in the Federation Cup Series.
