ByThis Day in Baseball

Roger Bresnahan, playing center field for the Giants, starts a triple play against the Pirates with the bases loaded. The future Hall of Famecatcher snags a line drive and his throw to home holds the runner at third base. Catcher John Warner throws to second base to get the runner advancing and the return home nabs the runner from third. Pittsburgh gets two inside-the-park homers from Ginger Beaumont but New York wins.

The Americans score seven runs in the 1st inning, four coming after a third out is disallowed because the umpire had turned to the bench to ask for new baseballs. Boston rolls to an 11 – 4 win over Cleveland.
