Notes & reviews

Weather: a gale swept the field, making work difficult for the fielders. Chilly weather kept attendance down.
Far over LF wall, carried over the adjoining street, and even over an empty lot parked with autos, bounding against a dwelling in the rear.
Gehringer hit on his right arm
Torrid grounder through Schuble rolled to the scoreboard. Official scorer charged an error but it was a hard chance.
Missed DP chance when Bishop juggled it
Bishop: brilliant catch
