On a drizzly day and a wet field in Weehawken, New Jersey, the team beat Jersey City of the Eastern League, 13-11, in a spring training contest. Second baseman Nap Lajoie had five hits.

Pitchers Bill Bernhard, Snake Wiltse, Eddie Plank, and Bill Duggleby, and catcher Farmer Steelman arrived in Philadelphia from Charlotte.

New player Lou Castro, who was with Norwich and New London in the Connecticut State League last year, made his Athletics debut at third base.
