Notes & reviews

Throw to second is wild
No info on Wambsganas error, but it did not put a man on base. Official records have Quinn with two unearned runs, so deduce error in in this inning preventing three outs before runs score. Could have been before Cobb or Fothergill hits. Not in four newsapper accounts.
