A rough outing as Boston righthander Doc Adkins faces 16 batters and gives up 12 hits and 12 runs in the 6th inning of a Philadelphia A’s 22 – 9 win over the Americans. Five players – Topsy Hartsel, Harry Davis, Lave Cross, Socks Seybold and Danny Murphy – collect two hits apiece in the frame. The A’s new 2B Murphy does not arrive until the 2nd inning and takes the field with no batting practice: he is 6 for 6, including a grand slam off Cy Young, while handling 12 chances flawlessly in a sensational debut. Teammate Davis adds another grand slam to tie the major-league record for a game. The 45 hits – 27 by the A’s – by the two teams sets an American League record. Rube Waddell picks up the win, facing just three batters in relief, while singling in the big inning.
