Notes & reviews

  • Over RF wall
  • Hendrick took 2B after the catch. Taylor threw to Hornsby and Herman beat the relay throw to the plate.
  • Over Hornsby's head
  • Unsure of scoring on attempted double steal. Bancroft was trapped between 1B & 2B when Taylor threw to Hornsby to Grimm. Grimm tried to get Moore at 3B but threw past Blair. Bush recovered and nailed Moore at the plate. Other scoring possibilities: CSH(24312) or CSH(12)
  • Knocked down line drive and threw Hornsby out
  • Off Gilbert's glove
  • Gilbert singled to RF but the Cubs claimed Bressler was hit by the batted ball. They were upheld by Ump Pfirman.
  • Over RF wall As soon as Frederick crossed the plate a shower of pop bottles fell on Ump McLaughlin who was stationed at 3B. Grimm rushed across the infield and pushed McLaughlin over to 2B and out of danger. When the field was cleared up of bottles and several straw hats, play was resumed.
