Notes & reviews
- Meadows overran 3B
- Line drive caromed off Burleigh Grimes leg to the 3B stands near the Brooklyn bench. Jimmy Johnston retrieved the ball and ran towards 3B. Max Carey rounded 2B and returned but Johnston threw to Grimes who limped towards 2B in pursuit of George Grantham heading to that bag. When Carey started for 3B, Grimes threw to Johnny Mitchell who was between Carey and 3B. As Mitchell ran after Carey, Carey turned and shoved Grimes who was standing in the base path. Grimes took a swing at Carey and both benches cleared. Grimes was called for obstruction. Grimes and Carey ejected by HP umpire Pfirman. Robins Cotton Tierney, not in game, was ejected by Pfirman for prolonging the fracas.
- Thrilling catch
