Notes & reviews

Deflected by Alexander to Thevenow near 2B
Caromed off Shocker past Lazzeri into short RF
Alexander threw into LF; Hafey throw home was high
Gehrig tagged Hornsby after catching wide throw
Into RF bleachers over the leaping Ruth
Ruth just missed it after a hard sprint. By the time he recovered it Thevenow beat his throw to the plate.
Hornsby: great leaping catch
