Notes & reviews

Tommy Thevenow's ML debut
Thevenow's 1st ML PA
The ball caromed off 1B bag
Morrison made 3B but was declared out for missing 2B
Nice running catch
Nice catch near Cardinal dugout
Picked it off the grandstand
BOUNCE HR over RCF fence. The ball bounded over the small inner fence that extends from the bleachers to the score- board and rebounded off the outer wall back onto the field. Carey retrieved it and Blades was stopped at 2B, but the umpires ruled it a home run.
Thevenow's 1st ML hit
Threw over Grimm
Texas Leaguer; Hafey couldn't hold onto it
