2nd

Chicago (PL) P Mark Baldwin beats New York 4-0 for his 34th win versus 24 losses. For the 2nd straight year he pitches 54 complete games and over 500 innings.

3rd

Chicago's John Luby (NL) wins his 17th consecutive game of the season, a 3-2 victory over Amos Rusie and the Giants.

9th

Cincinnati (NL) owner Aaron Stern sells to PL owners for $40,000. Committees from the 3 leagues meet to begin negotiations toward a settlement of the war. PL owners from Cleveland, Brooklyn, and New York seek consolidation with the NL. A truce, during which all contracts will be respected, is agreed upon. It is left to owners in each city to arrange their own deals.

12th

Henry Gastright (Columbus, AA) hurls an 8-inning no-hitter against Toledo, winning 6-0.

17th

The AA and NL refuse to permit the PL champion to take part in a World Series. Interest in the post-season meeting of league champions is lukewarm as Brooklyn wins a 9-0 opener over Louisville behind Adonis Terry (26-16). After breaking even in 7 games, with one tie, the teams abandon the series.

20th

Upset over PL backers seeking deals without consulting them, the Brotherhood meets and votes to add a players' committee to the 3 league committees for the next meeting. John M. Ward, Ned Hanlon, and Arthur Irwin are elected. Ward makes a long, spirited plea for the players' participation. Al Spalding, eager to split the PL backers and players, argues against them. The original 3 league committees vote 2-1 against the players' involvement. Each PL backer is now out to make his own deal and the PL is dead.
