Notes & reviews

  • Grounded past 2B into RCF
  • Fine catch
  • Nice catch
  • Too hot for Lindstrom
  • Into lower RF stands
  • Through Jackson
  • Off Cooney's shins
  • Mueller tried to force his way past Snyder at the plate and for a moment it seemed the players might come to blows, but there was such disparity among the players involved that the mixup excited a general laugh in which Snyder and Mueller joined.
  • Low throw
  • Great running shoestring catch of low drive; he curled up like a cruller after making the grab.
  • Great 1-handed pickup
  • Kelly knocked down the liner and stepped on 1B. Hafey was trapped and run down.
