Mickey Cochrane hits his 1st ML HR‚ off Sam Jones.

Jul 4, 1923 - In the 2nd game in NY‚ the Yanks Fred Hoffman hits HR off Walter Johnson as the Yankees veto the Senators‚ 12-2. Dave Danforth is the winning pitcher. New York scores 12 in the opener as well‚ winning 12-6.

Jul 27, 1922 - Vangilder gives up a HR to Pipp in the 4th but leads‚ 2-1 going in to the 8th inning. The Yankees jump on the Browns starter and Kolp for 4 runs before the Browns tie with 3 in the 9th. Dave Danforth comes on Fred Hofman on a pitch "that sailed a foot." When Brick Owens exams the ball‚ he rules it was doctored‚ earning Danforth an automatic 10-day suspension. Reliever Wayne Wright comes on and serves up a game-winning HR to Wally Schang. Yanks win‚ 6-5.

Jun 13, 1922 - In the final game of the 4-game series in St. Louis‚ the Browns earn a split by pasting the Yankees‚ 13-4‚ behind Dave Danforth. George Sisler's base-loaded triple in the 5-run 6th is the big blow.

Jul 12, 1919 - Ruth has three hits‚ including his 11th homer‚ tying last season's AL record‚ to lead the Red Sox to a 12-4 win over the host White Sox.

Aug 4, 1918 - In Chicago‚ the Sox sweep two from the A's‚ winning 7-6 and 3-2 in 10 innings. Dave Danforth goes 7 innings in the opener and‚ though lifted with the score 2-2‚ is credited with the win over Willie Adams‚ who goes all the way. Ed Cicotte is the victor in the nitecap.

Sep 9, 1917 - In Chicago‚ with the score tied 3-3 in the 10th inning between the Sox and the Indians‚ umpire Brick Owens forfeits the game to Chicago‚ 9-0‚ because of the 'dilatory tactics' of the Tribe. Chicago now leads the AL by 7 games. The Cleveland players protest Owens ruling in the 10th when‚ with two on a no outs‚ he calls Jack Graney out on a close play. The ensuing argument delays the game ten minutes with several Indians rolling on the ground and tossing their mitts. When Chicago's first hitter‚ pitcher Dave Danforth‚ strikes out to open the bottom of the inning‚ Indian catcher Steve O'Neill fires the ball into CF‚ whereupon Owens calls the forfeit.
