George Davis's 33-game hitting streak is broken as
his Giants lose at Cleveland 8-6.
Boston star Tommy McCarthy dislocates 2 toes sliding
into 3B against Chicago. His loss is felt as the game
ends in an 8-inning 8-8 tie.
John "Bid" McPhee, the Reds' star 2B, wears a glove
for the first time. However, he ends the experiment
before the end of the season.
After moving into the lead with 3 runs in the top
of the 9th, Philadelphia players allow themselves
to be retired quickly in order to finish the
game before it is called on account of darkness. However,
Cleveland foils their plans by scoring 4 runs in the
bottom of the 9th to win 11-10.
On the last day of the season St. Louis rookie Duff
Cooley goes 6-for-6 to spur his team to a 16-4
thrashing of NL champion Boston.
