In Other Games Today

Thursday, April 27th, 1905: New York's Donlin Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits Mike Donlin exploded for a barrage of base hits today at Polo Grounds III. The New York center fielder had a field day in the 10-3 triumph over the Brooklyn Superbas, finishing with a 5-5 day and a spot in the league record book. "My hitting philosophy is pretty simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch." Well, Donlin must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too. It was one of his best days ever with the bat. M. Donlin hit a two-run single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th. In 1905 Donlin is currently batting .455 with 1 home run and 12 RBIs. In 12 games he has reached base at a .528 rate and scored 10 runs to date.

Thursday, April 27th, 1905: White Sox Blank Browns, Owen Wins In a splendid 2-0 shutout performance, Frank Owen of the Chicago White Sox subdued the St. Louis Browns on a 6-hitter. His manager said in postgame comments, "He kept hitting his spots and putting up zeroes." Owen registered 1 strikeout and 1 walk.

Rumors Begin To Swirl As Eccentric Waddell Falls To 0-4

Hilltop Park,NY,NY-Athletics starting pitcher Rube Waddell has all of a sudden become the topic of rampant trade speculation as Connie Mack becomes more and more incensed with the eccentric pitchers' antics which include leaving the dugout to chase firetrucks, and becoming entranced by fans waving stuffed toys and puppy dogs at him from the bleachers among other things.Waddell has been odd for years so this kind of behavoir is nothing new,but the losing is and the reality is when you lose peoples perceptions change.In today's game,Waddell was outpitched by the Highlanders Jack Chesbro who defeated the Athletics 3-1.After three scoreless innings to start the game,the Highlanders jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the fourth on a two out two run single by Dave Fultz.The A's drew to within 1 in the 5th when Danny Hoffman singled home Ossee Schreckengost making it a 2-1 game.In the bottom of the 6th though,Frank LaPorte's sacrifice fly gave New York a 3-1 lead and Chesbro took over from there shutting Philly down the rest of the way.Here's the box score.

Davis Leads The Way As Athletics Crush Highlanders 12-3

Hilltop Park,NY NY-In one of the most one sided games you'll ever see,The Philadelphia A's absolutely demolished the NY Highlanders today by the score of 12-3.Harry Davis lead the way for Philadelphia going 3 for 5 with a triple,a home run,2 RBI and 3 runs scored.With a 1-0 lead heading into the 3rd,it looked as though the Athletics were in for another nailbiter but that wasn't to be as the A's pounded NY pitching for 6 runs over the next two innings taking a 7-0 lead into the 5th.It got no better for the Highlanders as the game wore on with Philadelphia eventually taking a 12-0 lead into the 9th where NY scored 3 meaningless runs off of a tired Chief Bender.For the game,the Athletics pounded out 11 hits,6 stolen bases(including one of home) and 2 home runs off of 3 Highlander pitchers.With all of this offense,its easy to overlook the fantastic game that Chief Bender pitched,going the distance and allowing 7 hits,4 walks,3 earned runs and 7 strikeouts for his third win of the season.Here's the box score.

Players Of The Week For Week Ending April 30,1905

Monday, May 1st, 1905: AL's Best Player Named Jack McCarthy showed the steely determination of a veteran this past week as he rode a hot streak all the way to American League Player of the Week honors. The 36-year-old Naps center fielder compiled a .500 average (14-28), no home runs and 2 RBIs. To date McCarthy has chalked up a .472 average with no home runs, driven in 5 runs and scored 9 times.

Monday, May 1st, 1905: Beckley Punishes NL Pitchers This Week His critics are starting to suggest that St. Louis's Jake Beckley doesn't have much left, but the 37-year-old Beckley prefers not to think that way. He cooked up a remarkable week in the last seven days, topping it off with the Player of the Week Award in the National League. The veteran first baseman for the Cardinals rolled to a .517 average (15-29) with no home runs and 3 RBIs. In 16 games this season Beckley has batted at a .349 pace with 22 hits and no home runs

Player Awards For The Month Of April

Monday, May 1st, 1905: #1 National League Newcomer Named Harry McIntire put on quite a show in the National League throughout the month of April and walked off with the Rookie of the Month Award. In 4 starting appearances, he had a record of 3-1 with some solid stats for Brooklyn. He chalked up a 1.77 ERA in 35.2 innings, struck out 19 and allowed the opposition to hit .187 against him.

Monday, May 1st, 1905: American League Names Rookie of Month Hal Chase's eyes seem to light up whenever he sees the baseball. The young New York first baseman has been hitting everything in sight for the better part of a month. In April he was voted the Rookie of the Month Award. During the month he hit .298 with 2 doubles, 2 triples and 2 home runs. Chase also scored 6 times and drove in 5 runs.

Monday, May 1st, 1905: Pittsburgh Starter Named NL's #1 Pitcher An outstanding 4-0 record in April earned Patsy Flaherty the Pitcher of the Month Award in the National League. When his name was penciled in to start on the Pittsburgh lineup card, it meant trouble for opposing teams. In 36 innings of work, Flaherty limited opposing batters to 24 base hits and a .194 batting average. He notched 12 strikeouts, issued 11 walks and had a 1.75 ERA.

Monday, May 1st, 1905: Young - April's Best AL Hurler Despite the number of years he's been in the league, Cy Young still gets excited when he puts together a quality stretch like he had in April. The 38-year-old starter for Boston was named American League Pitcher of the Month earlier today. He collected 4 wins and no losses with 19 strikeouts in his 4 starts, putting up a fine 1.25 ERA in 36 innings of work.

Monday, May 1st, 1905: Donlin Takes Home NL Top Batter Award Seasoned by several years of professional experience, 26-year-old Mike Donlin put together a solid offensive month for New York and was crowned April's top batter in the National League. He batted .472 with 1 home run, 13 RBIs and 12 runs scored.

Monday, May 1st, 1905: April's #1 Batter Announced Jack McCarthy battered American League pitchers all April and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award. "I've been around Major League Baseball long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 36-year-old McCarthy told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I may not take the field and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month." In 15 games, McCarthy hit .472 with no home runs, 5 RBIs and scored 9 runs.

Columbia Avenue Grounds,Phila.Pa.-Phillies shortstop Monte Cross was the big man today with a two run double in the 4th followed later by a tremendous 8th inning play in which he killed a Washington rally by flasing the leather and starting demoralizing double play which preserved the Philadelphia lead and ultimately the ballgame.The Athletics got things started today in the fourth by quickly loading the bases with no outs for Danny Murphy who singled home Socks Seybold for the 1-0 lead.Monte Cross then doubled home Harry Davis and Topsy Hartsel giving Philadelphia two more runs and a 3-0 lead still with no outs.Senators starting pitcher Barney Wolfe stayed calm though, and was able to get out of the inning without allowing another run.From then on,Wolfe was phenomenal allowing a mere two singles the rest of the way for a line of 8 IP, 8 Hits ,3 Runs(2 earned),2 walks and 1 K's.A's starter Eddie Plank,also pitched well allowing his only run in the 7th on a Charlie "Casey" Jones 2 out RBI double.In the 8th,Washington's third baseman Hunter Hill led off the inning with a double giving the visitors a glimmer of hope.Following sacrifice bunt by Barney Wolfe and a walk by Rabbit Nil in which he fouled off 6 straight 3-2 pitches,Joe Cassidy came to the plate looking to keep the rally alive.Cassidy slammed a ground ball between third and short that Monte Cross somehow speared and then in one motion Cross jumped,turned, and flung the ball over to second baseman Danny Murphy starting the inning ending 6-4-3 double play.Washington failed to threaten in the 9th and the Athletics held on to win 3-1.Here's the box score

Being that this is a bit of a niche effort,I was wondering if there is anyone who is following this and if there is ,tell me what you would like to see in the daily(in game time) updates.I'm close to adding a daily scores page with the line score from every game.I'm just working on getting them the right size.

Waddell Loses To Senators Falls To 0-5

Columbia Park,Phila.Pa.-In what is now becoming a disconcerting trend,Athletics starter Rube Waddell again couldn't get it done losing to the lowly Senators 5-3 dropping his record to 0-5."We need Rube to snap out of this if we hope to win a pennant" said one player today "You really feel for the guy seeing him struggle like this ya know but it is only early May so there's planty of time for him to come around".Thats pretty much the mood here in the clubhouse,down to a man,everybody on this team is behind big Rube 100% and they're doing everything they can to keep his confidence up.In today's game,the Senators got on the board first in the third on a Joe Cassidy RBI ground out that scored Case Patten who doubled earlier in the inning.The Senators made it 2-0 in the 6th when Joe Cassidy singled to lead off the inning,advanced to 2nd when player/manager Jake Stahl was hit by a pitch,stole third,and finally scored on a Frank Hueslman sac fly.Stolen bases were a problem all day today with Washington stealing a total of 8 bases off of Philadelphia.In the 8th,Washington really broke it open scoring 3 times on 4 hits and taking a 5-0 lead into the bottom of the inning.Up to this point,Senators starter Case Patten had held the A's to only 1 hit but Philadelphia finally got to Patten in the 8th starting the inning with a single,double,walk and an RBI single closing the gap to 5-1.The Athletics would score twice more with back to back sac flys but that would be it,the senators would hold on to win 5-3.Here's the box score.
