Notes & reviews

Christy Mathewson, President of BSN, missed opening day. He was said to be slightly ill at Saranac Lake and would not risk the weather. Southworth was out sick, Groh had a head cold, Frisch's left hand was in constant pain. ML debut for Dave Harris and Jimmy Welsh
Tough grounder; Bancroft threw past 1B from awkward position
One of the longest hits ever made here; hit the CF fence on the fly 50' to the right of the scoreboard.
Close play
NYT: 'Gibson rumbled to the plate with all the speed of a glacier.'
Nehf knocked down the line drive at his head
Harris dove and trapped it
1-handed catch
Texas Leaguer
Groh held up until it dropped
Rolled past the outfielders towards the flagpole
Fine play on swinging bunt
1-handed catch of tough play with the wind
