Notes & reviews

• Opening Day at the Polo Grounds saw much ceremony as NY's 1924 pennant was hoisted, and tribute was paid to the Eddie Grant Memorial, with Hughie Jennings and Dave Bancroft laying the wreath, and the crowd giving a minute of silence Supreme Court Justice Robert F. Wagner threw out first pitch
• Fine play
• Into lower RF stands
• Off Nehf's glove
• DWS: failed SH tr
• Walker fumbled
• Hit & run
• Over Welsh
• Past Lucas
• Hit & run
• Running catch of low liner
• Hit & run
• Koehler's ML debut
• Sensational running catch
• Knocked down the smash
• Wild toss to Lucas covering 1B
• NYT: Burrus handled the bunt as if it was going to bite him
• Through Bancroft's legs
