Notes & reviews
- Reconstructed what wasn't in NYT story top of 10th to end
- the Yankees thought John Stone struck out; HP umpire George Moriarty stepped in front of HP and talked to Red Ruffing and Bill Dickey then turned to the Yankees bench and threatened to clear it
- Johnny Grabowski's bunt blooped over Tony Lazzeri's head
