The scores were: Boston 8, Brooklyn 7, and Brooklyn 6, Boston 4. ![Newspaper portrait of Brooklyn pitcher Jess Barnes from June 1926.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/1926_Barnes_Jesse2.png) Jess Barnes pitched effectively in relief as the Brooklyn Robins salvaged a split of their June 21, 1926 doubleheader against the Boston Braves. It took some hefty batting and some real plucky pitching by [Jess Barnes](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/barneje01.shtml?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com) in the pinches to subdue the Braves in the twilight engagement. The Braves hopped off into the lead right at the start, but the Dodgers soon got the range of [Jimmy Cooney](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cooneji01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com), the Boston southpaw, and shoved over what proved to be the winning tallies in the sixth inning. The high priced [Johnny Butler](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/butlejo01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com), who was benched for weak hitting recently, played the major role in the Dodgers' attack. Johnny drove in three runs, one with a double, one with a sacrifice fly and another by slapping into a double play. The opener was a sad affair and it had gone fully nine innings before the Dodgers realized they were in a ball game. Trailing by five runs going into the ninth, the Dodgers launched a furious rally after the first two men had been retired and managed to tie the score. [Dazzy Vance](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/vanceda01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) hurled eight innings and gave another sad exhibition. His slants were hit freely by the Braves and he was lucky to escape without being charged with the defeat. [Rube Ehrhardt](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/ehrharu01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) replaced Dazzy after the Dodgers had tied the score and, although he twirled neatly in the relief role, the breaks were against him. It was the errancy of Bill Marriott, utility third baseman, that cost the Dodgers the game. After Ehrhardt had retired two batters and had two men on bases in the eleventh, [Andy High](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/highan01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) slapped a grounder to Marriott, the latter threw far over [Babe Herman](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hermaba01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com)'s head and the winning run scored. ![Newspaper box scores from the Brooklyn-Boston doubleheader played June 21, 1926.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/Box_1926_6_21_Robins_Braves.png) Box scores from Brooklyn's split doubleheader with Boston on June 21, 1926, featuring the Braves' 11-inning win in the opener and the Robins' 6–4 victory in the nightcap. --- ## TERRY, FRISCH CRASH HOMERS IN BAT ORGY **Poor Clarence Mitchell Hit All Over Polo Grounds.** *By WILL MURPHY.* ![Overhead newspaper diagram of the Polo Grounds showing Giants fielders Youngs, Lindstrom, and Terry positioned during New York's 10–3 win over Philadelphia on June 21, 1926.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/1926_GAME_6_21_Giants_Phils.png) Defensive alignment of the New York Giants during their 10–3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at the Polo Grounds on June 21, 1926, as published in the New York Daily News. The Giants won yesterday from the Phillies, who for some reason are still in the National League. The score was 10 to 3, and it was even easier than that. [Jack Scott](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/scottja01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) pitched for the McGraws and gave only six hits, three of them in the ninth, when such little details did not matter. [Clarence Mitchell](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mitchcl01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) stayed in there for the Phils all afternoon, and was knocked to all corners of the Polo Grounds. ![Newspaper portrait of Giants pitcher Jack Scott following his win over Philadelphia in June 1926.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/1926_Scott_Jack.png) Jack Scott scattered six hits and pitched the Giants to a comfortable 10–3 victory over the Phillies on June 21, 1926. Of course, licking the Phils is not much of a trick, but it makes the Giants feel better. Every time our sixth place heroes get very depressed, which is often, along come the Phils to cause our lads to feel like conquerors again. ### Eighteen Hits. Yesterday the Giants made eighteen hits, including home runs by [Bill Terry](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/terrybi01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) and [Frank Frisch](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/friscfr01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com). Terry thumped his into a throng of school kids in the upper right field stand in the first inning. Two were on at the moment, and how those kids did yell. Frisch's homer came in the ninth, with nobody aboard. It fell into the lower right stands. A moment later [Bob Meusel](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/meusebo01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) and [Ross Youngs](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/youngro01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com) startled the crowd—what was left of it—by working the double steal for the final Giant run. The McGraws haven't made this play since Roosevelt's first term. ![Newspaper portraits of Giants stars Frank Frisch and Bill Terry, both of whom homered against the Phillies on June 21, 1926.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/1926_Frisch_Frank_Terry_Bill-1.png) Frank Frisch and Bill Terry, whose home runs highlighted the Giants' 18-hit attack against Philadelphia on June 21, 1926. ### Scott's Form Fine. Scott just breezed along in his best form, though wilder than usual. With one of his four bases on balls, he forced in a run in the second inning, but thereafter John made the Phils set up and beg. It wasn't much of a contest at any time. Pancho Snyder hurt his right knuckles on [Jack Onslow](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/onsloja01.shtml?ref=diamondghosts.com)'s chin when Panch and the Pittsburgh coach had their row Sunday. Frank will rest for a few days. Two games with the Phils this afternoon so one of them may be good. ![Newspaper box score from the Giants' 10–3 win over the Phillies on June 21, 1926.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/Box_1926_6_21_Giants_Phillies.png) Official box score from the Giants' 10–3 victory over the Phillies at the Polo Grounds on June 21, 1926, highlighted by home runs from Bill Terry and Frank Frisch. --- ## Around the League ### June 22, 1926 ## National League ### Standings | Team | W | L | Pct. | | ------------ | -- | -- | ---- | | Cincinnati | 36 | 25 | .590 | | Pittsburgh | 33 | 23 | .589 | | St. Louis | 35 | 27 | .565 | | Chicago | 30 | 30 | .500 | | Brooklyn | 29 | 29 | .500 | | New York | 30 | 31 | .492 | | Boston | 23 | 34 | .404 | | Philadelphia | 20 | 37 | .351 | ### Yesterday's Results - New York 10, Philadelphia 3 - Boston 8, Brooklyn 7 (11 innings, Game 1) - Brooklyn 6, Boston 4 (Game 2) - Pittsburgh 13, St. Louis 11 - Cincinnati 6, Chicago 5 (16 innings) ### Today's Games - Philadelphia at New York (2) - Pittsburgh at St. Louis - Chicago at Cincinnati - Brooklyn at Boston --- ## American League ### Standings | Team | W | L | Pct. | | ------------ | -- | -- | ---- | | New York | 43 | 18 | .705 | | Cleveland | 35 | 28 | .556 | | Philadelphia | 35 | 29 | .547 | | Chicago | 34 | 29 | .540 | | Detroit | 32 | 32 | .500 | | Washington | 28 | 31 | .475 | | St. Louis | 25 | 38 | .397 | | Boston | 17 | 44 | .279 | ### Yesterday's Results - Philadelphia 7, Boston 6 (11 innings) - Cleveland 5, Chicago 2 - Detroit 5, St. Louis 4 (11 innings) *Only games scheduled.* ### Today's Games - New York at Washington (2) - St. Louis at Detroit - Cleveland at Chicago *League standings, results, and scheduled games as published on June 22, 1926.* --- ## ADVERTISEMENTS ![1926 Baby Ruth candy advertisement featuring a woman taking a bite and promoting Curtiss Candy Company's popular five-cent candy bar.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9d/ed/9ded1188-58c0-4dc4-a383-eccc24fe015e/content/images/2026/06/AD_1926_BabyRuth.png) CoA 1926 advertisement for Curtiss Baby Ruth candy bars, promoting the popular confection as "A Favorite Everywhere" and claiming 40 million satisfied candy lovers nationwide.
