Cleveland sent all nine men to the plate in the sixth inning, scoring three runs, then added three more over the next two innings to beat the Athletics, 6-4, at Columbia Park.
Orioles team secretary Harry Goldman made representations to A's manager Connie Mack, hoping to persuade him to allow the Orioles to sign Hughie Jennings and even offered a couple of unnamed players as compensation, but Mack refused.
Mack persuaded his old team, the Milwaukee Brewers, to release catcher Tom Leahy so Mack could sign him as Doc Powers' backup. The team released catcher Morgan Murphy to make room for him on the roster.
