National League President Harry Pulliam upholds the forfeit to the Cubs of yesterday’s Giants game stating: “I uphold the action of the umpires absolutely‚ and if I am not sustained by the NL Board of Directors I will not only resign my position as President of the NL‚ but I will quit professional baseball forever.” Giants owner John Brush then allows Jim Johnstone to officiate‚ and the Cubs win, 3 – 2, behind Three Fingers Brown and Ed Reulbach. At the month’s end‚ the Cubs will have a 15-game lead.

On John McGraw’s orders, umpire James Johnstone is refused admittance to the Polo Grounds, and the ump, standing outside the ballpark, forfeits the match to the Cubs. McGraw insists the game go on with a player from each team umpiring. McGraw picks reserve Sammy Strang, but Cubs manager Frank Chance refuses to go along, pointing out the game has already been forfeited.

At Cleveland’s League Park, the Boston Americans are shut out for the fourth consecutive time, bowing to the Naps, 4 – 0. Combined with a scoreless three-game sweep by the White Sox, the team establishes a new American League record.

In New York, Art Devlin and John McGraw are tossed for abusing umpire James Johnstone during a 3 – 1 loss to Chicago. The two will be suspended.

Senator right-hander Tom Hughes becomes the first pitcher to post a 1-0 victory extra-inning game with his own home run. Long Tom’s solo shot off Fred Glade in the top of the tenth frame proves to be the difference in the team’s victory over the Browns At Sportsman’s Park

Defeating the Americans, 3 – 0, the White Sox begin an American League record 19-game winning streak. In this century, the “Hitless Wonders'” streak will only be equaled by the 1947 New York Yankees.

After pitching 10 2/3 innings of no-hit ball, Harry McIntire yields a single to Pirates second baseman Claude Ritchey. The Superbas and McIntire lose the game in the 13th on an unearned run, 1 – 0.
