• Matty McIntyre hit a three-run double in the first and Chick Fraser held the White Stockings to just five hits in a 3-2 win for the Athletics in Chicago

• Catcher Tim Donahue, signed yesterday and expected to be on the field today, decided not to join the team after all

• A seven-year major league veteran, Donahue had left the National League's Chicago club to buy a stake in and manage a team in Colorado Springs, but at least once source said he hadn't come up with the money and was persona non grata in Colorado, hence his desire to hook up with the A's

• However, after a day to think it over, Donahue decided to go to Colorado Springs after all
