Notes & reviews

  • Start time delayed over an hour due to 9th annual St Louis Tuberculosis Society benefit baseball game and carnival. Hornsby received a telegram today that his mother was ill in Fort Worth, Texas. She had been ailing for some months.
  • The crowd roared a welcome to Hornsby as he came to bat. He responded with a ball that hit the top of the pavilion and bounced over to Grand Boulevard.
  • Remarkable catch of a drive headed for the flagpole
  • Got through Southworth
  • Great catch close to the crowd
  • Masterly play by Lavan who leaped for the high throw then came down on Smith for the out.
  • Wonderful stop of tough bounder behind 2B
  • Leaping catch
  • Into RF crowd; assume DGR
  • Over Smith
  • Myers beat the throw to 1B with a headlong slide
  • Knocked down hard smash
  • Into LF seats
  • Robbed of hit in back of 2B
  • Fillingim replaced with 3-0 count, but box scores reported only 1 BB by him (and Genewich with 2).
  • Guessing Sherdel inserted in 2nd slot of batting order
  • Off Sherdel's glove
  • Nice catch
  • Box score Assists: Kopf=2, R.Smith=6
