Notes & reviews

Walter Johnson made ML debut 20 years ago today. Umpire Billy Evans worked Johnson's first game in 1907; although injured Evans worked behing the plate a few innings in this game
Manush ejected by 3B umpire Ormsby for arguing he was safe at 1st
Braxton replaced Johnson with 0-2 count on Wingo; Johnson is charged with the walk to McManus who batted for Wingo
Harris made a great play to hold runner on third base.
