• With the wind gusting in excess of 20 mph, the Athletics beat the Baltimore Orioles, 9-4, at Columbia Park

• Chick Fraser got the win for the A's, giving up nine hits and two walks while striking out four

• An odd play in the sixth inning: With Orioles center fielder Jim Jackson on first and with two outs, a Baltimore hitter, probably Frank Foutz, hit one to Jack Hayden in right who caught in on the bounce

• Jackson, who thought Hayden had caught it on the fly and that the inning was over, headed for the dugout, leading Hayden on a merry chase before Jackson was finally tagged out to truly end the frame

• Shortstop Harry Lochhead had recovered from his finger injury, but had now taken ill, meaning Dave Fultz was again taking his spot in the infield
