The Athletics jumped out to a 10-0 lead by the end of the top half of the second, but a late Cleveland charge nearly brought the game home and the A's just held on to win their sixth straight, 10-0, in Cleveland.

Catcher Harry Smith tried to report to the team, but he was still suffering from a recent illness and manager Connie Mack sent him home to convalesce until he was well enough to play ball.
