Notes & reviews

During Meusel's AB, Ump Owens called Danforth off the mound and they engaged in a heated argument over Dave's pitching. Sisler entered the confab and brought it to a close quickly.
Ruth's 100th BB of the season
Sisler protested vigorously with Ump Owens over the balk
Fine running catch
Into RF bleachers, Ruth's 14th HR in July. NY Times reported HR/F7D.
Ward returned safely to first when pitcher dropped throw in rundown
