Notes & reviews

Into upper tier of LF stands
Bottomley: spectacular diving catch
Haid injured a finger on his pitching hand; after a long coference with Mgr Southworth, he continued.
Lindstrom: great catch at the edge of LF boxes
Past Jackson
Off Lindstom's glove
Low throw
Sharply hit. During Ott's AB, Frisch and Wilson became confused under a foul and permitted the ball to drop.
Bad hop over Cohen
Hafey almost made diving catch, but trapped it
