• Athletics starter Eddie Plank fired a two-hitter, with four walks, to beat the Brewers, 6-0, at Columbia Park

• Over recent days several players, especially third baseman Lave Cross, had complained that the ads on the center field fence were making it hard to pick up the ball out of the pitcher's hand

• Manager Connie Mack directed that the ads be covered with green paint saying, “If the advertiser kicks, I will gladly fix him in order to win games” and added, “if the boys keep on hitting as well as they did today, I will have the fence painted a different color every day”
