On August 2, 1901 — At Columbia Park, The Boston Americans coast to a 16 – 0 win over the A’s behind the pitching of Cy Young. It is Cy’s 20th win of the year versus five losses.

The Americans had four players who had four hits on the day, while the A’s managed just 7.

Echoes of the Game.

The fielding of the Bostons was superb, their only error. a fumble by Jimmy Collins, being male on a drive by Dolan. Ferris closed the game in sensational style by making a great one-handed catch of a liner from McIntyre’s bat and doubling up Nap Lajoie at second. Ely wired that he would t) here in time for Saturday afternoon’s game. Eddie Plank will pitch for the Athletics, and Lewis may perform a similar service for Boston. After they got tired of roasting Bernhard the spectators. or rather a small portion of them turned their attention to umpire Tommy Connolly. and made his life miserable all afternoon. Business manager Billy Sharsig. who suffered from a heart attack earlier in the week, succumbed again today and had to be taken home.
