Notes & reviews

Protest=V
Harry Danning threw to Lou Chiozza, who dropped the ball; HP umpire George Magerkurth called Augie Galan for interference with the throw; as play was about to resume lots of equipment flew out of the Cubs dugout; Cubs manager Charlie Grimm announced he was playing game under protest
Hank Leiber left with a charley horse in his leg
