The barnstorming Athletics beat the Negro League Philadelphia Giants, 13-9, at Columbia Park.

The Inquirer reported Connie Mack was already looking for players for next year. In his sights were a couple of pitchers and an outfielder, needed because of Dave Fultz's heretofore unannounced retirement.

The paper also reported that the Athletics had drawn 411,329 spectators at home on the 1902 season and in ten head-to-head dates with the Phillies, outdrew them 59,367 to 6,928.
