With the score 1-1 in the 4th‚ Ken Keltner hits a 3-run HR over the LF fence.

The Series is dubbed the Streetcar Series and is played with no days off. Red Hayworth is behind the plate for the Browns‚ with Frank Mancuso as his backup. In a family oddity‚ brothers Ray Hayworth and Gus Mancuso also catch in the big leagues.

Aug 25, 1944 - In the 4th inning‚ Tiger SS Joe Hoover singles off Browns pitcher Denny Galehouse‚ then steals 2B.

Sixth-place Boston splits today‚ losing 7-4 and winning 3-2 to take 3 out of 4 from last-place St. Louis. Both leagues will set records for extra-inning activity‚ 91 in the AL‚ 80 in the NL. Brownie P Denny Galehouse doesn't help in the game 2 loss‚ getting nabbed by 2B Bobby Doerr in the 8th on a hidden ball trick.

Aug 2, 1941 - Marv Breuer shuts out the Browns on 3 hits to win‚ 2-0. It is the Yankees 3rd shutout in a row. Denny Galehouse gives up 8 hits‚ including a double to DiMaggio. This extends DiMag's new hit streak to 16 games.

Jimmie Foxx and Tabor lead the plating with 7 runs apiece‚ with Tabor scoring 5 runs in game 2. Three of Tabor's HRs‚ including a record-tying two grand slams (matches Lazzeri‚ in 1936)‚ come in the nightcap‚ the first Red Sox player to clout three in a game. He totals 19 bases and 11 RBIs in the two slugfests on an afternoon featuring 65 hits. Boston accounts for 35 of them.
