The White Sox achieved a doubleheader sweep against Boston, winning both games by shutouts. This victory marked the beginning of a grueling 19-day, 21-game road trip, featuring seven doubleheaders in just 11 days. Rain caused numerous rescheduled games, with the team often playing in adverse weather conditions. Over the trip, the White Sox split only one of seven doubleheaders, while facing cycles of wins and losses. Additionally, Billy Pierce pitched in the All-Star Game, recording a loss despite a strong performance.
The White Sox swept Boston in a doubleheader, 4-0 and 3-0, with Lefty Williams and Reb Russell earning the shutouts. Russell's effort was a one-hitter, with the only Boston safety coming on a single in the sixth inning by Clarence "Tilly" Walker.
The White Sox had a series in Boston in mid-May completely washed out by rain, so the July doubleheaders all wedged May and July games together.
The White Sox only split one of the seven doubleheaders, otherwise sweeping three and getting swept in three.
For the third and final time, Billy Pierce was pegged to start for the American League in the All-Star Game. In this game, in Washington D.C., Billy was tagged with the loss despite only allowing one run in three innings of work.
