Notes & reviews

  • Masterful 1-handed stop but the low throw to 2B hit Bishop and rolled into LCF.
  • Too hot for Dugan
  • When Witt fumbled, Lamar tried to score but turned his ankle rounding 3B and stopped dead. Simmons reached 3B about the same time Lamar returned to that bag. Miller dashed for 2B, cutting off Simmons's line of retreat. By the time the ball was thrown to Ward, Lamar was hobbling to the plate, hardly more than walking. Ward started running toward the plate but stopped at the pitcher's mound; all he needed was a leisurely toss, but his throw home sailed over O'Neill.
  • Neat slide
  • Wild throw to Ward
  • Lamar hurt himself rounding 1B last inning
  • Texas Leaguer
  • Running 1-handed catch
  • Bishop hit on leg by high bounder
  • Running catch
  • Miller pretended to fumble it and trapped Witt off 2B. O'Neill then broke for home, changed his mind, and was out returning to 3B.
  • Into upper deck of LF stands; only the second clout ever hit upstairs at Shibe (Simmons hit the first, too).
  • To the scoreboard
  • Gehrig made a game run but it fell in front of him
  • Gehrig slipped on the grass
  • Gehrig complained bitterly over the called 3rd strike
  • Knocked down the drive
  • After the inning Gehrig continued his kicking and was ejected by HP umpire Ormsby.
  • Simmons juggled
