Notes & reviews

• Protest=X
• Ival Goodman rounded 2B too far
• the ball struck the facing of the upper deck and caromed back onto the field; it was ruled in play and Dusty Cooke reached 3B for a triple; the Reds protested the game, which was upheld; Cooke was awarded a home run by NL President Ford Frick; the game was replayed in its entirety on August 20
• Reds Coach Edd Roush ejected by HP umpire Ziggy Sears
• At the time the game was played, the Cardinals' four-run 9th-inning rally tied the score at 5-5, sending the game into extra innings; in retrospect, crediting Cooke with a HR in the 6th inning would have resulted in a 6-5 Reds lead through nine innings.
• this home run ended the game as a 7-6 Cardinal victory but the game was declared a tie after Dusty Cooke's triple in the 6th was changed to a home run later
