6th

Charlie Buffinton of the Phillies allows one real hit and 2 "phantoms" (walks) in shutting out Indianapolis.

9th

Buffinton pitches his 2nd straight one-hitter (not counting walks), beating Chicago 17-4. "Buff" is making a successful comeback after being given up on by Boston last winter.

10th

Tip O'Neill gets his 10th consecutive hit (including one walk but not including one HBP) before being retired by Cleveland pitcher John Kirby.

12th

At the Mets' grounds on Staten Island, Athletic batter Gus Weyhing hits an apparent triple that Indian RF Bob Hogan kicks into the stage of the play "The Fall of Babylon." Since the ground rules at park call for a double on hits into the theatrical set, the umpire orders Weyhing back to 2B. After a futile argument, the Athletics leave the field and forfeit the game.

14th

St. Louis P Dave Foutz suffers a broken thumb when hit by a line drive. When he eventually returns to pitching, he will be ineffective.

15th

John Clarkson and Chicago beat Detroit again, 6-4 this time. Since the NL has just thrown out a protested game previously awarded to the Wolverines, this leaves Chicago and Detroit tied for first place.

16th

Detroit bounces back and beats Clarkson and Chicago 5-3 with a 5-run 4th-inning rally to regain sole possession of first place.

17th

Managing from the press table costs Ollie Caylor and the Mets a game. With a Baltimore runner on 3B in the bottom of the 10th inning, manager Caylor yells last-second instructions to C Bill Holbert. Just as Holbert turns around to look at the press stand, P Al Mays begins his delivery. When Mays sees Holbert turned away, however, he stops, committing a balk that sends the winning run across the plate for the Orioles.

27th

Mike Kelly and Ezra Sutton score 6 runs each as the Beaneaters trounce the Alleghenies 28-14. The score is the biggest ever yielded by a Pittsburgh ML team.

29th

Denny Lyons of the Athletics is held hitless for the first time since May 23rd, ending a 52-game hitting streak. In 2 of those games, however, Lyons's only hits were actually bases on balls.

30th

Blondie Purcell succeeds Tom Burns as the Baltimore Orioles' captain. The high-strung Burns overstepped his bounds yesterday when he threw a ball at the opposing pitcher after grounding out in the 9th inning.

31st

The Mets use 5 pitchers while being bombed by Louisville, becoming the first team ever to use that many in one game. For Louisville, the victory is the 6th in a row.
