Notes & reviews

Stiff wind from southeast (blowing in)
Heaved into dugout
Hornsby registered his first squawk of the season claiming catcher Davis touched his bat as he swung. Ump Hart refused to listen or ask a brother umpire.
Smashed off Willoughby's hand to Whitney
Beck: fast play on slow roller
Low throw
Hornsby: snappy stop, bullet throw
Infield playing in
