The White Sox staged the first twi-night double header in club history, as they swept the Yankees, 7-5 and 7-2. More than 27,000 fans showed up at Comiskey Park for the wartime promotion, which became a regular attraction over the next several decades.

In a doubleheader versus the Yankees, Sox outfielder/first baseman Charlie “Paw Paw” Maxwell hit three home runs and knocked home five run in the split. Maxwell had a curious history of doing his best hitting on a Sunday.
When acquired from the Tigers, it was discovered that 25 of Maxwell’s 70 career homers (to that point) were hit on the Sabbath.
