• Dave Fultz singled in the top of the ninth to score Lave Cross with the go-ahead run in a 4-3 Athletics win over the Brewers in Milwaukee
• On the play, Fultz and ball arrived at first base at the same time and except for umpire John Haskell, observers thought Fultz should have been out on the play, ending the inning
• The Milwaukee Journal said Fultz never touched the bag, while the Philadelphia Inquirer said the ball beat Fultz to the base
• Baltimore manager John McGraw tried to put a wrench the A's plan to acquire Hughie Jennings, saying he had “first call” on his old teammate and expected him to join the Orioles around June 12
• American League president Ban Johnson disagreed, saying Jennings had “[given] me his word to play with Connie Mack's aggregation”
• Francis Richter of Sporting Life said Mack was in pursuit of Beloit College pitcher Doc Adkins
