New York tops the Reds, 2 – 0, as Christy Mathewson hurls an eight-hit shutout. The Reds’ Andy Coakley allows just four Giant safeties in the loss. For Matty, it is his 25th win. The Giants will sweep three games from the Reds, with the only negative being Fred Snodgrass sustaining a broken thumb. The rookie catcher, who played just six games, will return next year to play mostly in the outfield.

Roger Bresnahan returns after a 24 day absence to beat Andy Coakley, the pitcher who caused the absence

After an absence of 24 days, Roger Bresnahan returns to the lineup and collects two hits in a 3 – 2 win for the Giants against Andy Coakley, the same hurler who hit him with a pitch on June 18th. Bresnahan does not wear the headgear he developed. When a fan keeps a foul ball during the game rather than tossing it back, Giants team secretary Frank Knowles warns that “in the future he will not be so lenient about anyone stealing a ball.”
