A scheduled doubleheader in Brooklyn with St. Louis is washed out after five innings of the first game, but lefty Johnny Lush, with a one no-hitter over Brooklyn under his belt, allows no Brooklyn hits in his outing.

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.

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.

At the Polo Grounds, 20,488 watch the Giants roll over St. Louis, 8 – 1. Christy Mathewson, the winner, exits after six innings, and is replaced by Red Ames.

At Philadelphia, the A’s top the Americans, 4 – 3, in a game called after eight innings because of dark clouds. Boston manager Jimmy Collins protests to no avail.

John Reilly becomes the first major leaguer to hit for the cycle in different leagues when the Reds, who moved to the National League this season, beat Pittsburgh at League Park, 16-3.
