Notes & reviews
- More alliterative than Tinker,Evers...Peck to Pratt to Pipp
- Pipp great catch saves run
- Shannon's throw hit W. Johnson on head, KO. After several minutes Johnson came to. Mgr. Griffith sent Shaw to warm up but Johnson decided to continue
- Connolly claimed Judge tagged Ruel. Huggins and Ruel argue but Connolly turned his back and ignored them!!!
- When Peck. stopped, Pipp reversed back to 2B collided with Ellerbee. Pipp KO'd and 'neck twisted but several of his teammates put it in place'
- Milan sensational catch of Lewis drive
