Notes & reviews

Nice stop
Beautiful 1-hand stop in deep SS, but threw late to 3B
Stole while Haines held the ball
Past Maranville
Nice catch
Fast play; great pickup by Bottomley of low throw
Wonderful stop
Delayed steal while Haines held the ball
Fine pickup by Stock; neat scoop by Bottomley of low throw
Freigau reached for a high one
Failed hit & run
Hornsby tagged Rawlings on the line
PGT claimed he tried to bunt for a hit
Maranville collided with Ainsmith allowing Flack's throw to bound to the stands.
During Hornsby's AB, Ump Klem held up the game for a few minutes while he lectured Hamilton about the evils of soiling the ball. He allowed him to continue to pitch, however.
Stock tried to catch the infield playing back
Pretty catch
Fast play
