Chicago defeats Cleveland 8-3 in a turbulent game. In the 7th, umpire Tom Lynch changes a close call at first base and enrages Cleveland manager-1B Patsy Tebeau.

The NL Board of Directors meets and fines Patsy Tebeau $200 for rowdyism. Tebeau refuses to pay and announces he will seek legal redress.
