⦁ For the fifth time in the last six days, the Athletics and Senators contested a double header

⦁ The first of today's games, played in Washington, went to the Senators, 9-4, but for the second time in consecutive games, Nap Lajoie hit a pair of home runs for the A's

⦁ Lajoie might have done more damage if he hadn't been ejected for arguing a close call at third base

⦁ A's starter Snake Wiltse had a whale of a game in the afternoon tilt, firing a four-hitter, while rapping out two doubles and two triples, in a 13-0 walkover

⦁ Wiltse's batterymate Doc Powers added four hits of his own, including a triple and a home run

⦁ With catcher Harry Smith still out, manager Connie Mack signed William Diggins off the Chester Athletics as an emergency backup for the duration of the Boston series
