• After two days of rain delays, the Athletics were finally able to open their regular season, but lost to the Senators, 5-1, at Columbia Park

• Roughly 15,000 were in attendance—about 10,000 of whom paid their way in—and 3,000 more were turned away at the gate

• The A's committed six errors in the field

• Chick Fraser had the honor of starting the first-ever Athletics game that counted, walking four and striking out five

• Because April had been so rainy there was still no grass in the outfield

• The A's scored their only run in the seventh when Socks Seybold drove in Nap Lajoie from third
