| » September 23, 1914: After losing Game One to Boston, 3–2, the last-place Reds come back in game two to break the longest losing streak in the club's history (and 3rd longest in the National League and tying the 20th C. mark of the 1906 Bston Nationals) at 19 straight. Charles "King" Lear wins his only game of the year and pitches his only shutout ever, 3–0. The Reds wait till the 9th to score their three runs.
» September 26, 1914: Pete Alexander wins his 9th in a row for the Phils, beating the Reds, 7–4. Gavvy Cravath hits his 18th homer, off King Lear, and Sherry Magee clouts his 15th.
» September 10, 1915: Rogers Hornsby, brought up a week earlier from class D Denison (Western Association), makes his ML debut for the Cardinals. With the Cards trailing the Reds, 70, after six innings, Hornsby plays SS and goes hitless in two appearances against Cincy rookie Charles "King" Lear, who wins, 7–1. |
