1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 2
Ed Reulbach was called on for the Cubs to face White Sox hurler Doc White. After matching 1–2–3 first innings, things started to fall apart for White. After cleanup-hitting first baseman Frank Chance led off the top of the second with a strikeout, third baseman Harry Steinfeldt singled to left field and shortstop Joe Tinker beat out a bunt. Cubs second baseman Johnny Evers then reached on a two-base error by White Sox second baseman Frank Isbell, scoring Steinfeldt for an unearned run and moving Tinker and Evers to second and third.

Catcher Johnny Kling was then intentionally walked to load the bases and bring up the pitcher, still with only one out. Reulbach squeeze-bunted Tinker home for a second unearned run, moving Evers to third and Kling to second with two out. Solly Hofman followed with an infield single to shortstop Lee Tannehill, scoring Evers for a third unearned run, but when Kling tried to score from second, he was thrown out at home plate, ending the rally. The Cubs added a fourth unearned run in the third, ending Doc White's day on the mound.


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 2
The Sox scored in the bottom of the fifth inning with an unearned run, thanks to a wild pitch and an error. The Cubs scored three more runs, all earned, in the sixth and eighth to win Game 2 7–1 and tie the Series at one game apiece. Reulbach pitched the first one-hitter in World Series history.

1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 3
After allowing two first-inning hits, Sox starter "Big Ed" Walsh didn't give up another and struck out 12, giving the Sox a 2–1 edge in the series. After Fred Schulte's first inning two-out double, Walsh retired the next 25 of 27 Cub batters to face him. Third baseman George Rohe cracked a two-out, bases-loaded triple to left in the top of the sixth off Jack Pfiester for the only runs of the game.

Friday, October 12, 1906, at South Side Park (III) in Chicago, Illinois


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
"Three-Fingered" Mordecai Brown pitched 5+2⁄3 innings of no-hit ball for the Cubs before settling for a two-hitter to even the series once more at two games apiece. Nick Altrock was the hard-luck loser, with the only run of the game coming on Johnny Evers' two-out single in the top of the seventh scoring Frank Chance. The Sox put the tying run on second base in the top of the ninth thanks to a two-out walk and a passed ball, but Frank Isbell grounded out to end the threat. The game took just 96 minutes.


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 5
Saturday, October 13, 1906, at West Side Grounds in Chicago, Illinois


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 5
Game 5 was a wild affair with a total of 18 hits, ten walks, six errors, two hit batsmen, three wild pitches and a steal of home. The Cubs allowed a first inning run to the Sox, then scored three of their own to take an early lead. The Sox tied the game in the third on George Davis' theft of home on the front end of a double steal and then took the lead for good with a four-run rally in the fourth and held on for the victory to take a 3–2 lead in the series. A 12-hit attack led by Frank Isbell's four doubles were enough to overcome six errors committed by the porous Sox defense. "Big" Ed Walsh earned his second win of the series, although he needed three innings of relief help from Doc White.


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
Sunday, October 14, 1906, at South Side Park (III) in Chicago, Illinois


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
Mordecai Brown, pitching on only one day of rest, didn't make it out of the second inning as the Hitless Wonders White Sox stunned the 116–36 Cubs in the Series finale. The Sox battered Brown for seven runs on eight hits while getting a solid pitching performance from Doc White.


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
Although the Cubs scored a run and loaded the bases in the ninth, White got Frank Schulte to ground out for the final out of the series and the White Sox won the World Series over the powerful Cubs, who would compensate by winning the next two World Series from young Ty Cobb, Hugh Jennings and the Detroit Tigers even though they fell far short of 116 wins in 1907 or 1908, for the last Cub World Series wins in over a hundred years.


1906 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
This game is notable for being the only time the Chicago White Sox have ever clinched a postseason series at home. It remained the only time a Chicago-based team had ever clinched a series at home until the Cubs won the 2015 NLDS on their homefield.

1906 college baseball season
The 1906 college baseball season, play of college baseball in the United States began in the spring of 1906. Play largely consisted of regional matchups, some organized by conferences, and ended in June. No national championship event was held until 1947.

This is a partial list of conference champions from the 1906 season.


1906 college football season
The 1906 college football season was the first in which the forward pass was permitted. Although there was no clear cut national championship, there were two teams that had won all nine of their games as the 1906 season drew to a close, the Princeton Tigers and the Yale Bulldogs, and on November 17, 1906, they played to a 0–0 tie. St. Louis University finished at 11–0–0. The Helms Athletic Foundation, founded in 1936, declared retroactively that Princeton had been the best college football team of 1906. Other selectors recognized Yale as the national champions for 1906.

Although his nearsightedness kept him off the Harvard varsity squad, Theodore Roosevelt was a vocal exponent of football's contribution to the “strenuous life,” both on and off the field. He helped revive the annual Harvard–Yale football series after it had been canceled for two years following the violent 1894 clash that was deemed “the bloodbath at Hampden Park.” His belief that the football field was a proving ground for the battlefield was validated by the performance of his fellow Rough Riders who were former football standouts.

“In life, as in a football game,” he wrote, “the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard; don't foul and don't shirk, but hit the line hard!” In 1903, the president told an audience, “I believe in rough games and in rough, manly sports. I do not feel any particular sympathy for the person who gets battered about a good deal so long as it is not fatal.” He summoned the head coaches and representatives of the premier collegiate powers—Harvard, Yale and Princeton—to the White House on October 9, 1905. Roosevelt urged them to curb excessive violence and make an example of fair play for the rest of the country. The schools released a statement condemning brutality and pledging to keep the game clean.

Following the 1905 season, Stanford and California switched to rugby while Columbia, Northwestern and Duke dropped football. Harvard president Charles William Eliot, who considered football “more brutalizing than prizefighting, cockfighting or bullfighting,” warned that Harvard could be next, a move that could have been a crushing blow to the college game. Roosevelt wrote in a letter to a friend that he would not let Eliot “emasculate football,” and that he hoped to “minimize the danger” without football having to be played “on too ladylike a basis.” Roosevelt again used his bully pulpit. He urged for radical rule changes, and he invited other school leaders to the White House in the off-season.


1906 college football season, New rules to save football
An intercollegiate conference, which would become the forerunner of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), approved radical rule changes for the 1906 season. They legalized the forward pass, abolished the dangerous flying wedge, created a neutral zone between offense and defense, and doubled the first-down distance to 10 yards, to be gained in three downs. Georgia Tech coach John Heisman had seen the forward pass attempted in 1895 in a Georgia vs. North Carolina game, and lobbied for its legalization starting in 1903. After unsuccessfully attempting for three years to convince Rules Committee chairman Walter Camp to legalize the play, Heisman enlisted the valuable support of committee members John C. Bell and Paul Dashiell instead. Finally, in 1906, the Rules Committee, college football's governing body at the time, legalized the forward pass.


1906 college football season, New rules to save football
The American Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee met at the Murray Hill Hotel in New York City beginning January 12, 1906, to create measures “for squelching brutality and all forms of unnecessary roughness.” Numerous changes were made, the primary one being the legalization of the forward pass. Various persons are given credit for the suggestion. Heisman. Bell, and Dr. J. William White were later credited with designing rules that would permit a pass, yet still be acceptable to a majority on the rules committee. Among the other rule changes made for the 1906 season included:

Even with the approval of a forward pass, the rules for American football in 1906 were still significantly different than the ones of a century later, as many of the present rules (100-yard field, four downs to gain ten yards, 6-point touchdown and 3-point field goal) were adopted in 1912. The rules in 1906 were:

Although a forward pass was made legal, that play in 1906 was still a risky business, because an incomplete attempt would result in stiff penalties — 15 yards back from the spot from which the pass was thrown on first or second down. If the defense committed a foul, the 15 yard penalty didn't apply to the offense, but the defending team was not penalized either. In addition, a pass could not be caught more than 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, nor beyond the goal line (the end zone had not yet been invented).

The passing game in the west (typified by St. Louis University) was closer to today's version than that in the east; the quarterback would fire the ball directly to an open receiver. The style used by Yale and Harvard, recounted later by a referee of the day, Horatio B. Hackett, was "the ball is thrown high in the air and the runner who is to catch it is protected by several of his teammates forming an interference for him."

Not everyone was impressed with the improved version of college football, particularly in California. "I do not believe the present experiment in American college football can survive," said the President of the University of California, Benjamin Ide Wheeler. He added, "In my opinion, the whole country will within five years be playing the Rugby game."

September 5 marked the first use of the forward pass in a college football game. In its 22–0 win over Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on a Wednesday afternoon, St. Louis University unveiled a new offensive style. SLU's coach, Eddie Cochems, had his team secretly practice the play. Though the first attempt was incomplete (resulting in a turnover), the next one was successful, as Bradbury Robinson threw to Jack Schneider, who then ran the rest of the way for a touchdown. St. Louis would go on to an 11–0–0 record, outscoring its opponents 407–31, including Marquette (30–0), Kansas (34–2), Drake (32–9) and Iowa (39–0).

Robert Audley justified the decision to quit the league by pointing out that the season's £200 loss was as good a figure as could be expected in the future, with the past seven campaigns taking in an average of £1,500, supplemented by an average of £400 in transfer takings. He claimed "this total could not be expected to pay the expenses of a league club", especially with creditors closing in, the bank refusing an overdraft, and summer wages to be paid. That so few came forward to help the club in its time of need came to be the final straw for Audley.


1906–07 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Financial collapse and closure
"To the few hundreds of loyal supporters, I tender my best thanks for their support and I join in their regrets that sufficient financial support could not be found to continue the club."


1906–07 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Financial collapse and closure
Many of the players joined Stoke, as well as newly elected Oldham Athletic, and Burslem Port Vale was finished.


1906–07 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Cobridge Church
Port Vale's history would have ended at this point, had it not been for an unexpected twist. North Staffordshire Church League champions Cobridge Church were accepted into the North Staffordshire Federation League, still a very minor league. Joint-secretaries Millward and E.C.Brundrett had very big ambitions however. They sought permission from the Football Association to change the club's name to Port Vale and bought the old club's ground. To signify their roots they renamed their reserve side to Cobridge Church.


1906–07 Burslem Port Vale F.C. season, Cobridge Church
Technically the Port Vale of before 1907 was a separate entity to the Port Vale of after 1907, however spiritually the club continued its existence from its 1876 founding onwards. In December 1908, a group of ex-directors, led by Sam Bennion, bought into the club, meaning that the new club played at the same ground, had similar owners, a similar name, and played continuously from 1906–07 to 1907–08 and beyond.

A week later Dumbarton travelled to Coatbridge to play Albion Rovers. Again changes were made to the team with Mitchell returning at right back, Ritchie taking Cairney’s place at centre half and Brander being preferred at centre forward.

The Sons crossed over a goal to the good, but the Rovers equalised in the second half and while the visitors regained the lead the homesters came back again. Even when the Rovers went down to 10 men due to injury, the advantage was not taken by Dumbarton and at full time the score was tied at 2-2.

The visitors turned up a man short and played with 10 men, but due to some brilliant work on the part of Abercorn’s keeper Kerr, it wasn’t till 15 minutes into the second half that McCormack scored for the Sons. To their credit Abercorn equalised, and despite having most of the play, Dumbarton could not find a way past Kerr. So for the third week in a row the result was a draw – 1-1.

1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, December
So as 1906 came to an end, on the back of a nine game unbeaten run Dumbarton sat at the top of the league with 23 points from 18 games.

1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, January
1907 started with confidence with a trip to Ayr to face the team that Dumbarton had comprehensively beaten 6-1 just two weeks earlier. Gordon returned to right half but otherwise it was an unchanged team. While the play was fairly even the Dumbarton forwards performed poorly and in the end the roles were reversed from the first game as Ayr romped to a 5-0 victory.


1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, January
On 12 January Dumbarton faced East Stirling at Boghead. The Sons had won the previous encounter at Falkirk and following the forwards display the previous week changes were made with Robertson and Duncan coming in at inside and outside left respectively. In addition Crichton replaced Oldcorn in goal. As it was the changes failed to have the desired effect and in a disappointing display the visitors departed with both points in a 2-0 win.


1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, January

1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, February
The following Saturday Dumbarton headed out to face their neighbours and rivals Vale of Leven in a friendly. Both teams still had their eyes on winning the league and this was an opportunity to show the strength of their respective claims.

1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, February
On 16 February, facing another week free from league or cup commitments, Dumbarton were visited by a strong St Mirren ‘A’ side. Two new faces were introduced – Alex Fraser from Duntocher Hibs and Brown from Queens Park Strollers. On the play during the game the Sons were well worth their 3-0 win.


1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, February
It was back to league duty on 23 February as Dumbarton played their final league encounter against St Bernards at Boghead. If there was to be any chance of the title then this game was a ’must win’ – although the visitors had similar aspirations. Fraser retained his place in goal, with Grant and Lockhart coming back into the team. Unfortunately Dumbarton were to find the St Bernards goalkeeper in superb form and could find no way past, and in the end two first half goals were enough for the visitors to take both points in a 2-0 win.


1906–07 Dumbarton F.C. season, Story of the season, February
So at the end of the month Dumbarton maintained 2nd place with 25 points from their 22 games. Vale of Leven were still on top 2 points ahead with a game to play, but it was St Bernards who looked to be favourites for the title lying in 4th with 22 points but with still a massive 8 games left.

Cornwall defeated Ottawa Victorias on February 15. Ottawa protested the game, as Cornwall players Degray and McCourt had also played two games that season with the Montreal Shamrocks in the rival Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA). The FAHL ordered the match be replayed, in Cornwall, on March 6, and did allow McCourt to play for Cornwall. During an on-ice brawl at the rematch, McCourt was struck in the head by the hockey sticks of two or more Ottawa players and knocked unconscious. McCourt died the next day, and Cornwall resigned from the league.

The Montagnards also used two players from the ECAHA's Montreal Shamrocks when they played Cornwall on February 25, winning the game 7–3. When Cornwall was told by the FAHL that they must replay Ottawa for using ECAHA players on February 15, they protested the February 25 game on the same grounds. When the FAHL agreed, the Montagnards refused to play the rematch and resigned from the league.
