Bucs star Honus Wagner is thrown out at first in the 4th inning on a close play, then shows his displeasure by firing a ball near umpire George Bausewine during warmups the next inning. Bausewine responds by thumbing Honus out of the game. Wagner will be suspended for three games and fined $40.
»August 5, 1905:
Umpire George Bausewine is once again in the middle of controversy forfeiting a game to the Pirates with the score tied 5–5 in the 9th when the Giants argue too long over his safe call at 3B. New York will appeal the forfeiture, but on August 26th President Pulliam will uphold the ump's decision. By the rules of the day, Giants pitcher Christy Mathewson is charged with the loss.
