After playing three in Massachusetts, Boston and the Athletics shifted the scene to Columbia Park where the A's took a 6-1 decision in seven innings. The field was already pretty wet from previous storms and when the rain started falling in the bottom of the seventh umpire Tommy Connolly put an end to it.

Pitcher John McPherson was gone after yesterday's unsuccessful tryout in Boston. To replace him, the team signed left-hander Lewis "Snake" Wiltse from the Pirates.
