• Wiley Piatt started the game, giving up four runs on three hits, before stepping aside for Bill Bernhard who finished the contest

• Jack Hayden, Nap Lajoie, and Lave Cross each had three hits to pace the A's

• With Pat Crisham out indefinitely because of illness and Socks Seybold playing out of position at first base, the team signed former Washington Senators first baseman Charlie Carr

• Carr batted .192 in 73 at bats with the 1898 Senators, but was more productive last year with Toronto in the Eastern League, batting .327 in 490 at bats
