Cleveland is the first American League team to hit three consecutive home runs in one inning as Nap Lajoie, Piano Legs Hickman and Bill Bradley connect in the 6th off St. Louis, with all the hits ending in the LF bleachers at St. Louis. The last two come on the first pitch thrown. Jack Harper tees up the gopher balls in the 17 – 2 loss. The feat was last done on May 10, 1894.
Cincinnati closes out the season with 16-1 and 19-3 home victories over the hapless Cleveland Spiders. Sam Crawford has 5 hits for the day for the Reds. The Spider starter for game 2â Jack Harperâ is understandably ill and Cleveland starts 19-year-old Eddie Kolb in his place. He gives up all the runs. Kolb runs the cigar stand at the Gibson Houseâ and he became acquainted with manager Quinn during the team’s visits to the hotel. When he heard last night of Harper’s illness he volunteered. This will be his only appearance in the majorsâ but he will play and manage in the minors after this. Bid McPheeâ considered the best 2B of the 19th centuryâ plays in both gamesâ which ends his long career. Cleveland ?nishes deep in the cellar with 20 wins and 134 lossesâ 84 games out. They also conclude a 36 game road trip (1-35) after setting a mark earlier this year with a 50-game road trip.
