Notes & reviews

A blazing smash that struck Cantwell's right knee and cut his legs from under him. He recovered in time to get the out but had to be assisted to the dugout by Johnny Evers and the Braves' trainer.
Close play

Rain began to fall
Into upper tier of RF stands

Running catch
Long single to LF
Threw to 2B too late
Against LF wall, not HR by inches
