-•	Down a run in the ninth, the [[Minnesota Twins|Senators]]' Pop Foster tied it with an inside-the-park home run, then later in the inning, Bill Coughlin hit an outside-the-park single with two men on to give his team an 8-7 walkoff win over the Athletics in Washington
-•	It wouldn't be until 1920 that major league baseball score a hit like Coughlin's as a home run
-•	The A's commmitted seven errors
-•	It was the team's fifth loss in a row and the eighth in their last nine games
-•	Still trying to find the answer at shortstop, manager [[Connie Mack]] played both [[Dave Fultz]] and [[Phil Geier]] at the position but neither looked very good
-•	Back in Philadelphia, the Court of Common Pleas denied the Phillies' request for an injunction that would have prevented [[Nap Lajoie]], [[Chick Fraser]], and [[Bill Bernhard]] from playing for the Athletics

-•	Only Lajoie was named in the ruling, but by prior agreement it was construed to be applicable to Bernhard and Fraser, too
