Lajoie Batters Washington Big Time
The Philadelphia Athletics stopped the Washington Senators by a score of 7-2 at American League Park, with the lion's share of the credit going to second baseman Nap Lajoie. The 28-year-old had a career day, collecting 5 hits.
"Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate," Lajoie said later. "He wants to hit the ball hard."
Lajoie did just that in his 5 at-bats, much to the chagrin of the Senators.
"Not much that I can say," offered Washington manager Jim Manning. "He just hammered the heck out of us."
Nap Lajoie doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

Reds' Dobbs Smacks 5 Hits
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for John Dobbs -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at National League Park and paced the 10-0 Reds win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
After his dynamite batting performance, the Cincinnati left fielder told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control."
His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book. John Dobbs hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

April 23rd, 1904

Harvey Hurls No-Hitter
Zaza Harvey of the Chicago White Sox was the King of the Hill at League Park.
The Chicago starter dominated the Cleveland Naps, giving up zero hits in his 1-0 victory.
"The toughest part was the last couple of innings," Harvey recounted after the game. "You know you have a no-hitter going, and so does everybody in the ballpark. That was the hard part, keeping focused and concentrating while your heart is pounding."
Harvey, who finished 5th in the AL in wins with 19 in 1901, recorded 2 strikeouts and 5 walks in the game.
Chicago White Sox (6-2) over Cleveland Naps (4-5)

April 24th, 1904

Chesbro Razzle-Dazzles with No-Hitter
The Pittsburgh Pirates relied on no-hit stuff from starter Jack Chesbro to defeat the Cincinnati Reds, 2-0, at Palace of the Fans.
"It's quite a thrill," Chesbro told the media afterward. "This is a top-notch league. A no-hitter against any team in the league is something special. I can't believe I did it."
To get his name logged in the NL records, he stopped Cincinnati cold and hitless, surrendering 2 walks and fanning 1 of the 31 batters he faced.
Pittsburgh manager Fred Clarke was in a jovial mode after the game, kidding with reporters that Chesbro "made managing easy today."
"I didn't have hardly any decisions to make like I usually do," he said. "I didn't even have to come up with a pinch hitter."
Pittsburgh Pirates (9-1) over Cincinnati Reds (1-10)

April 27th, 1904

Athletics Resilient in 7-6 Win Over New York
The Philadelphia Athletics cut down the New York Highlanders by the score of 7-6 in 13 innings. Much of the credit went to right fielder Socks Seybold. Seybold was 5-7 with a triple, a double, and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Athletics. The Highlanders fall to 5-7 and continue their lethargic start to the 1904 season.
The knockout blow came in the bottom of the 13th inning. That's when third baseman Emil Batch stepped to the plate with a runner on 2nd and hit a run-scoring single, to win the ballgame.
"The house was rockin'," said Seybold.
Philadelphia Athletics (9-3) over New York Highlanders (5-7)
