Notes & reviews

Morning rain made OF grass sodden but the diamond was kept dry by a big oilskin 'bedspread'. Some damp spots on the base lines were repaired by several wheelbarrow loads of sand hastily dumped by the grounds keepers. Ruth got a great hand as he came to bat
Attempted double steal
Game was delayed 10 minutes somewhere in the 1st inning to make repairs to the pitching rubber.
Texas Leaguer
Pretty stab
Close play at plate; good hook slide by Ruth (picture in WP)
Just past Harris
Between Ruth & Combs, to the scoreboard
3 tremendous swings pbp account ends here, rest deduced
