Frederick Thayer‚ the inventor of the catcher’s mask‚ and George Wright sue the Spalding Brothers Company for copyright infringement. The two will eventually lose their case.

The Mets please 9‚000 fans by defeating the first-place Athletics in the bottom of the 9th‚ 3 – 2.

Boston P Jim Whitney muffs a pop-up‚ but catcher Mike Hines catches it before it hits the ground and starts a triple play. All the runners had taken off with the apparent error. Providence still wins‚ 6 – 2.
