The Athletics played their first double header of the season, a Decoration Day affair in Cleveland, and came away with a sweep. In the morning contest, the A's scored three runs on just four hits and a pair of Cleveland errors to win, 3-1. In the afternoon game, limited to eight innings by darkness, the A's led after three, 5-1, and coasted to an 8-2 win

The afternoon game featured a 15-minute rain delay in the seventh inning that was punctuated by a wild seat cushion throwing fracas that ended with stadium cops wading into the bleachers. There were only two police officers on the scene and one of them required assistance from Cleveland manager Jimmy McAleer to rescue him from the unruly crowd.
