Notes & reviews

Great stop
The throw had Wheat by 10' but Bell dropped it
Ball bounced off Bottomley's shins to Hornsby
Into LF bleachers
Wonderful catch over 2B
The game was delayed while Umpire Sweeney directed Mgr Rickey to keep all but the next 2 batters on the bench. It was a thrilling argument and served only to delay what was already a very slow game. After several minutes Sweeney went to consult with O'Day about the rules regarding the occasion. Apparently Sweeney won the argument as only Bottomley and Bell were allowed to stand alongside of the bench while Hornsby was hitting.
Ump Sweeney called the batter out on a quick pitch while Douthit was three or four feet out of the batter's box. NYT: 'Hubbell struck out Douthit with two quick delivery pitches...Douthit maintained he was not in the batter's box when the last one was made.' SLS: 'It is probable this game will be protested.'
