Wiltse Spins Shutout Against Cubs

Tuesday, June 5th, 1906: Wiltse Spins Shutout Against Cubs On the hill Hooks Wiltse stood out and was the master of the moment as he blanked Chicago 11-0. At bat the Cubs floundered, fizzled and failed to score. "His fastball moves and he mixes in the slider," the Chicago manager said. "He kept us off-balance." The New York pitcher hurled a 6-hit shutout in an exceptional effort. He gave up 1 walk and had 4 strikeouts. "I felt good," Wiltse said. "That's probably the best fastball I've had all season. I was able to locate it pretty well. They were super-aggressive, which helped me." In the current season in 12 starts, Hooks Wiltse has a record of 8-1 with 48 strikeouts in 98 innings and a 2.85 ERA.

This season Joss has compiled a 8-2 record with a 1.48 ERA.

Resilient Athletics Once Again Turn Back White Sox

South Side Park,Chicago,Ill.-With first place once again on the line,the Athletics and White Sox fought a spirited battle with Philadelphia coming out on top 5-4.The difference in the game was a four run 5th inning in which the Athletics got two big home runs from Chief Bender and Rube Oldring that turned a 1-1 game into a 5-1 Philadelphia advantage.Chicago would not go quietly though,scoring twice themselves in the 5th as well as once more in the eighth,but in the end it was all Chief Bender(11-1) who struck out Jiggs Donahue to end the game leaving the tying and winning runs stranded on 2nd and 3rd.Here's the box score.

Sportsman's Park,St.Louis Mo.-Rube Waddell wasn't at his best today and the Athletics have given better exhibitions of our great national game,but Rube and his teammates were good enough to win,and the victory will look just as good as a no-hit shutout come the Beginning of October.In one of the tightest struggles of the season,the A's time and again let the Browns back in the game with poor fielding that was exascerbated by Waddell's inability to get the big out when it was needed,but the end ,Rube got the one that counted when Branch Rickey flied out to center field ending the game with the tying run 90 feet away.Here's the box score.

Athletics Fall In Heartbreaker 4-3

Sportsman's Park,St.Louis,Mo.-In one of the most exciting battles of the season,the St.Louis Browns defeated the Philadelphia Athletics 4-3 thanks to remarkable pitching by port side twirler Barney Pelty(8-4) and clutch hitting by short fielder Bobby Wallace.Wallace was a thorn in the side of A's pitcher Eddie Plank(6-6) all day,collecting 3 hits including an RBI double in the 4th as well as the game winning single in the 8th in four trips to the plate.As for Pelty,the locals couldn't have asked for more from "The Yiddish Curver" who allowed 8 hits and 3 earned runs while striking out 3 for his 8th victory of the season.Here's the box score.

Sportsman's Park,St.Louis Mo.-Much to the chagrin of the 4,715 fanatics in attendance,the Athletics Chief Bender(12-1) absolutely demoralized the Browns holding them to a scant 6 hits while fanning 5 as the A's rolled to an easy 10-0 victory.Suburbanite Socks Seybold and third sacker Rube Oldring led the offensive assault with each man getting 4 hits while Socks scored three times and Rube knocked in 2.Here's the box score.

Athletics Blank Tigers 1-0 For Third Straight Shutout

Bennett Park,Detroit,Mi.-In one of the most bitterly contested pitchers' battles ever in Bennett Park,Athletics twirler Rube Waddell(11-2) outdueled Tigers boxman Kaiser Wilhelm(6-6) 1-0 thanks to a Socks Seybold RBI fielder's choice in the top of the first inning that scored young Eddie Collins who singled to start the game.From there,it was all pitching with Waddell allowing just 3 hits and striking out 7 while Wilhelm,slightly less impressive, allowed 6 hits for the game.For Detroit,who now stand at 20-31,today's game was a much needed morale booster as they await the imminent return from injury of their two best players in Ty Cobb and Wahoo Sam McDowell who if all goes well will return this week,as for the Athletics,they'record now stands at 34-19,good enough tp pace the competitive American League.Here's the box score

Pirates Karger To Miss Year

Thursday, June 14th, 1906: Pirates Karger to Miss Year The doctors have spoken and Ed Karger of the Pittsburgh Pirates didn't like what he heard. The 23-year-old starting pitcher is almost certainly gone for the rest of the year and depending on his progress could miss some of next season as well. Karger sustained his season-ending injury during the Brooklyn Superbas game yesterday at Exposition Park. He had to leave the game because he hurt himself while throwing a pitch. Today the Pittsburgh medical staff reported Karger had bone chips in his elbow and would be absent from the lineup for at least 13 months. So far this season Karger has 6 wins and 4 losses and a 2.60 ERA.
