Notes & reviews

McNally: great stop
Into lower RF stands
Severeid ran Schang back to 3B and tagged both runners
Cedric Durst's throw bounded into the Browns' dugout and 1B umpire Ollie Chill allowed Bob Meusel to score; the Browns argued and the umpires huddled; Browns Manager Lee Fohl ejected by Chill, who gave the Browns 5 minutes to resume their positions or forfeit the game; total delay almost 25 minutes
Between innings Yankees Mgr Huggins ejected by Ump Connolly. It was also announced Browns were playing under protest.
Bad hop over Pipp
Infield in for Sisler
