The Athletics took both ends of a double header from Cleveland. In the first game, new catcher Farmer Steelman (see below) hit a walk-off two-run double in the ninth to give the A's an 8-7 win. In the second game, the A's sent all nine men to the plate in the sixth, scoring five, to take it, 7-3.

Connie Mack signed Morris “Farmer” Steelman to back up Doc Powers while Harry Smith was out with appendicitis. Steelman had been in a contract dispute with Brooklyn manager Ned Hanlon and had declared himself a free agent, a declaration Mack was more than happy to honor.

Socks Seybold was back in right field after sitting out yesterday's game with an injured leg. Third baseman Lave Cross sat out today's contest after sustaining a twisted knee or sprained ankle (reporter's choice) in yesterday's game.
