Notes & reviews

The poorest attendance to greet the Dodgers for an opening game, despite the good weather. Promoter Jack Dempsey was present, seated behind the Dodger bench, and he received an ovation from the fans who were quick to recognize the former boxing champion.
Maranville: remarkable stop
Bancroft's throw hit Jones; Gilbert threw into BRO dugout
Vance knocked down vicious drive
