Notes & reviews

After Danforth had pitched 2 strikes to Blue, Cobb protested in vain to Ump Hildebrand. Cobb was very hostile.
Heilmann fumbled
Cobb fumbled
Into RF bleachers

Long argument resulted when Ump Rowland called the drive a pickup. Umps Hildebrand and Evans called McManus out, so it was ruled a DP. Sisler and Rowland entered into a heated argument with Evans, and the DP stood.
Into LF seats
Into RF bleachers; Cobb's 5th homer in 2 days was a record
