• By the third inning of today's game between the Athletics and Tigers in Detroit, news filtered into the ballpark of the shooting of President William McKinley in Buffalo

• After the top half of the sixth inning, umpire Joe Cantillon, with the agreement of both teams' managers and captains, called an end to the game with the Tigers winning, 8-3

• The A's had put together a three-run rally in the sixth to get back into it, but given the circumstances, neither manager Connie Mack nor captain Nap Lajoie had any objection to the umpire's decision
