Notes & reviews

Shocker's first appearance in 10 days; a bandage was still on his left hand.
Heilmann pulled a charley horse and limped around the bases
Over Combs
Into LF pavilion seats
Yankees claimed Wells balked after moving his left hand. Umps consulted and agreed.
Into RF bleachers
Pretty catch; Ruth picked it off RF screen
Combs dropped the fly but got the force
