A loose confederation of teams existed that were not part of the Negro National League.

• April 8 – In front of 15,000 fans, the Philadelphia Phillies defeat the Philadelphia A's 8–1. What made this inter-city exhibition game significant is that it is the first major league game of any kind to take place on a Sunday.

• July 4 – The Pittsburgh Crawfords' Satchel Paige pitches a 4–0 no-hitter against the Homestead Grays in Pittsburgh, then drove to Chicago to shut out the Chicago American Giants 1–0 in twelve innings, giving him two shutouts in two different cities on the same day.

• September 26 – The Detroit Tigers sweep a double header from the Chicago White Sox, giving Chicago ten losses in a row, and 97 losses for the season. The ChiSox, however, go 2–2 in their final four games to avoid 100 losses for the season.
• September 30 – Dizzy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals shuts out the Cincinnati Reds, 9–0, to reach his 30th win of the season.

• October 4 – Goose Goslin's single in the twelfth wins it, as the Tigers take game two, 3–2.
