Notes & reviews
- Torrid weather PGT: 116 minutes
- Carey's speed was a big factor
- Infield tap
- Guessing fielders; Hornsby was run down between 1B and 2B
- Pretty catch in deep LF
- Off Toporcer's glove
- Bigbee made a thrilling pickup of Hornsby's mad liner. Smith thought he had made a shoestring catch and sprinted back to 1B. Bigbee, who had fallen in making the play, arose and threw him out at 2B.
- It was thought that Grimm was pulled off the bag and the decision started a protest. When play resumed, Rabbit apparently worked the hidden ball trick on Hornsby but it was not allowed.
- Circus catch of soft liner
- Fine catch
- Traynor threw wide to Rawlings at 2B
- Freigau was caught up the line, expecting a bunt
- Box score POs: Bottomley=8, Stock=4, Toporcer=3, Blades=6
