====== April 27, 1901 ======

===== News =====

•	The [[Twins|Senators]] rapped out 19 hits and beat the Athletics 11-5

•	[[Wiley Piatt]] was on the mound for the A's and was ineffective throughout

•	Testimony resumed in the Phillies' request for an injunction against [[Nap Lajoie]], [[Chick Fraser]], and [[Bill Bernhard]]

•	Lajoie's lawyer emphasized the unfair nature of National League contracts, particularly the clause that allowed a team to dismiss a player after ten days notice, while not allowing the player similar severance options

•	The Phillies rebutted by saying the clause was necessary to dissuade a player from dogging it after having signed a fat contract

•	Both sides rested their case at the end of the day's arguments
