Notes & reviews
- Weather: strong wind
- Too hot for J.Sewell
- Off the RF screen
- Gardner threw it into Indians' dugout on DP attempt
- Wind carried it just out of Jamieson's reach
- Off Miljus' glove
- Into LF bleachers
- Fonseca: 1-handed catch
- Cleveland manager Peckinpaugh ejected by 1B umpire Campbell for arguing when Fonseca called out by for interfering with the play by running out of base line when he had clearly beaten the play; fans were incensed but did not know about the interference ruling; fans were egged on by Cleveland's Peckinpaugh and coach Shanks; players surrounded Campbell and the park was in an uproar; a hundred bottles were thrown from the RF stands; police were summoned to restore order; Peckinpaugh was suspended for five days
- Hale: brilliant 1-handed stop
- umpchange,9,ump3b,(None)
- Game was delayed when more pop bottles descended on 1B umpire Campbell; 3B umpire Ormsby was knocked unconscious when a bottle struck him on the head. GM Billy Evans succeeded in quieting the crowd to some extent as Ormsby was helped from the field. Players of both teams were helping the groundskeeper staff to clear the field of bottles. A chorus of boos greeted Campbell upon resumption of play; A's Boley and coach Gleason also injured by thrown bottles
- Wind-aided
- Hale snagged high bounder and made a great throw
