Notes & reviews

The Cardinals presented a makeshift infield as Bottomley was forced to remain idle because of an infected right arm, and Hornsby was called to Texas because of the serious illness of his mother.
Nice running catch
Too hot for Stock
Flack fumbled
The game was halted while O'Day ran a Boston battery down in the bull pen out of the park. The two Boston players had taken seats in the temporary box section in RF and had refused to vacate.
BG reported no run scoring until Smith's single
BG: S7.3-H
Shoestring catch by Flack
Fumbled easy tap
Past Stock
Stuart wheeled and got Smith off 2B
Robbed of a hit by Lavan's backhanded catch
Through Smith
Fine play
Good catch near temporary seats
Hit & run
