Notes & reviews

Ruth out with swollen ankles and tired legs
McNeely slid under Gehrig's throw home
It was raining as WS1 went to bat
Gehrig threw himself at Peck who sidestepped agilely, then spoke sharply to Lou about it. The crowd joined in.
Past SS
pbp account ends here, rest deduced
Ogden overthrew Bluege; Goslin's throw home hit Jones
Pitch hit Meusel's bat as he ducked away from a close one
