Notes & reviews

  • Powell overslid
  • Cruise hit on right arm
  • pandemonium--several dozen straw hats and almost 100 bottles thrown onto field delaying game; police sent 50 officers to game; announcement to crowd appealing to NYC sportsmanship
  • another wild celebration--despite police more hats & bottles
  • SS Bancroft ejected by 1B umpire Moran for claiming Ford interfered with him, preventing double play; Ford was spiked in head on play
