===== News =====

•	Athletics starter [[Eddie Plank]] fired a two-hitter, with four walks, to beat the [[Orioles|Brewers]], 6-0, at Columbia Park

•	Over recent days several players, especially third baseman [[Lave Cross]], had complained that the ads on the center field fence were making it hard to pick up the ball out of the pitcher's hand

•	Manager [[Connie Mack]] directed that the ads be covered with green paint saying, "If the advertiser kicks, I will gladly fix him in order to win games" and added, "if the boys keep on hitting as well as they did today, I will have the fence painted a different color every day"
