The Athletics committed eight errors in an 11-4 loss to the White Stockings at Columbia Park.

Third baseman Lave Cross was still out with a knee injury and now second baseman Nap Lajoie was forced to the bench with an “incipient abscess” of the knee as the result of a spike wound that hadn't yet healed properly.

Pitcher Eddie Plank, who had been absent since a beaning on the 14th was back in uniform and was thought to be able to get back on the mound by the end of the month.
