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
