FAIRLY EVEN APRIL IN THE AL – CARDS BEGIN WELL IN THE NL.

Notable Performances

22nd: Washington rookie Jake Weimer begins his big league career in fine style, shutting out the Highlanders on 2 hits while fanning 5. The same day sees Cincy’s Jim Barr go 12 innings, shutting out the Cubs on three hits.
23rd: Washington’s rotation continue their domination of New York with another two-hitter, this time by Lou Brissie in a 3-0 shutout.
25th: Another two-hit shutout with southpaw Hooks Wiltse leading the Browns to a 6-0 whitewash of the Sox. Later that month, however, he goes down with shoulder tendonitis and will miss 6 weeks.
28th: Cleveland’s Kid Elberfeld has the season’s first 5-hit game, helping the Naps overcome the Browns 5-1.
30th: The A’s rally from 9-0 down, scoring 11 over the final four innings to pinch one from the Americans, with Homer Smoot’s 4-5 / 2B / HR / 2 RBI performance leading the way.

Feats and Streaks

16th: Al Shaw of the Giants finally has his hit streak – which had carried over from the previous season – halted by Brooklyn at 30 games. St Louis outfielder Steve Braun would have his streak brought to an end the following day after hitting in 28 straight.

Transactions
None of note

Injuries

30th: Disaster for the red-hot A’s and their equally in-form ace Fred Glade, as he is lost for the year with a partially-torn labrum.
