Notes & reviews

Elbert 'Cool' Turner was identified as Bert Wagner in newspaper coverage of the 1927 World Series
Rain began to fall
Game called due to darkness From the Chicago Defender game account: 'The Chicago team rushed to the boxes where Postmaster Alford, the mayor and a number of women of both races were sitting. The players started swearing and going on in a fashion that was condemned by all the fans.'
