All six scheduled game play to completion on September 15, 1920, including a doubleheader between the Pirates and the Braves in Boston. The Dodgers beat the Cubs 1-0 for the low scoring game of the day. At the high end, the Browns drub the Red Sox 18-5 in St. Louis.

Two hitters post Baseball Musings Batter Game Scores of 76 to tie for best offensive game of the day. Walter Holke of the Braves goes three for three with a double, triple, and walk in the second game of the Braves doubleheader. Boston wins the game 4-1 to earn a split with the Pirates. Tris Speaker of the Indians posts a four for five day with a double and a walk to help the Indians beat the Athletics 14-0.

Right behind them is George Sisler of the Browns who posts a three for four day with a double and two walks. That leaves the AL batting race in Sisler’s control. He raises his batting average to .398, while Speaker closes the gap a bit, now at .393.

On the defensive side, Jim Bagby of the Indians takes home best pitched game of the day. He throws a three-hit shutout, allowing one walk and striking out two. Bagby wins his 28th game of the season, which leads the majors. He also leads in complete games with 27 and innings pitched with 299 2/3. He is not in the top five in any of the three-true outcome categories, nor ERA.

The sports page points out a three excellent outfield plays on the day. The Reds beat the Phillies 3-2, thanks to Cincinnati leftfielder Pat Duncan twice robbing Phillies second baseman Johnny Rawlings of home runs. Tommy Griffith saves the Dodgers game with a catch of a fly ball that looked like it was going for a triple. It was in the ninth inning with one out.

With the Yankees off, the Indians and White Sox both gain 1/2 game on New York. The Yankees lead by one game over Cleveland and 2 1/2 games over the White Sox.

The Dodgers maintain their five-game lead over the Reds, with the idle Giants falling 5 1/2 games back. Brooklyn’s magic number drops to twelve.
