Notes & reviews

Slow roller
Bad hop over Adams' head
Fine stop
Fine 1-hand stop
Over Fullis' head
Texas Leaguer
Running catch
Bounder hit 3B bag and leaped high in the air
Grimes knocked down the drive with his bare hand, pursued it, made the throw to 1B, then almost fainted in the arms of Grantham. He left the field at once.
