Slick fielding White Sox first baseman Joe Kuhel tied a major league record set in 1905 by recording 40 putouts in a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics. Kuhel recorded 17 putouts in the first game and 23 in the second one. The Sox split the two games played at Shibe Park, winning the first, 14-0, and losing the nightcap, 3-0.
