The Athletics beat Wissahickon, 16-4, in an exhibition contest at Columbia Park. Roxborough right-hander Pete Loos started the game for the A's on a tryout basis and went all the way, giving up four unearned runs on eight hits and no walks, while striking out three. Charlie Carr made his debut at first base. To make room for Carr, Socks Seybold moved to left field, pushing Phil Geier to center and Fred Ketchum to the bench.
Pitcher Billy Milligan reported to the team, a few days later than expected
