With a Friday game against the Yankees rescheduled for a Saturday doubleheader in New York, the White Sox had two chances to get their 100th win. They were also at full strength, with Joe Jackson and Buck Weaver rejoining the team after their exhibition foray in Boston.

Sure enough, the White Sox offense piled up the runs in the first game. Jackson and Eddie Collins both went 4-for-5. Collins piled up the runs (two) and RBIs (three), while Jackson’s big day helped hoist his average over .300 for the first time all season.
