Notes & reviews

Hack Wilson lined the ball into the RF bleachers but HP Umpire Charlie Moran called it foul; the Cubs protested the ball was fair; the umpires huddled and the call was not changed; after Wilson flied out, he argued with 1B Umpire Beans Reardon at 1B; Wilson ejected by Reardon
Game called because of rain
