8/2/1923 – The St. Louis Browns had considerable trouble with the batting order in the first game of two in Washington, which they lost 5-0. Manager Lee Fohl changed the lineup order from the usual and the players did not adjust. A contemporary newspaper story said that Fohl changed the batting order frequently during the season. Two different swaps were made as Ken Williams and William Jacobson swapped the third and fourth positions and Wally Gerber and Hank Severeid swapped the sixth and seventh places. In the first inning, there was a runner on first and one out. Williams came to the plate instead of Jacobson and walked. When the Senators pointed out that Williams was the wrong batter, Jacobson was declared out and Williams batted again. This time he doubled to right but Eddie Foster was thrown out trying to score from first on the hit. Those two players batted in the proper order after that. Senators skipper Donie Bush noticed the other situation early in the game. In the second, fifth and seventh innings both Gerber and Severeid made outs so Bush said nothing. However, in the ninth inning, Gerber batted with two out and a runner on first base. He singled advancing the runner to third. Bush then spoke up and Umpire Ormsby declared the batter out to end the game.
