News

• Clever base running in the sixth inning by Dave Fultz forced a Cleveland fielding mistake that allowed him to score the eventual winning run in a 4-3 win for the Athletics at Columbia Park

• Fultz was on third and enticed a throw over from pitcher Bill Hart, but third baseman Bill Bradley wasn't paying attention and the ball zipped by him into foul territory all the way to the fence

• The Hughie Jennings saga came to a head when Jennings appeared on the field in Baltimore and took infield practice with the Orioles prior to a game with the Brewers

• Johnson sent a telegram instructing Brewers president Matt Killilea and umpire Jack Sheridan not to play the game if Jennings was on the field

• Jennings said that Johnson had lied to him by telling him McGraw didn't want him
