Notes & reviews
- Forfeit=V
- Time called for police to take care of the overflow crowd which now swarmed around the White Sox bench.
- Through SS
- Collins threw home too late
- White Sox Hooper ejected by HP umpire Rowland for arguing Sheely was safe at home; Hooper was coaching 3rd
- Stephenson backed into the RF crowd to make catch
- Into the LF crowd
- Into the LF crowd
- Into the LF crowd
- Into the LF crowd
- Through Sewell
- Since the 1st inning, several thousand fans had been allowed to occupy territory in foul ground behind 3B. This made it impossible for box patrons to see the game without standing up. In the top of the 9th, someone in the stand fired a cushion at someone standing out in the field. In a minute the air was full of cushions coming out and being fired back. The game was halted for several minutes until the escapade was subdued.
- Scratched through the box
- Knode either dropped the throw (CPD) or failed to touch the bag (NY Times/Chi Daily Trib). The crowd swarmed over the field thinking the game was over. Umpires and police attempted to clear the field, but were helpless. The game was forfeited to CLE
