Notes & reviews

Major League debut for Tiny Bonham
Times says Henrich thought there was only 1 out and so caught and dropped fly to try for cheap DP. Most players thought the ball was caught and were leaving field. Tabor kept running and scored, Dahlgrem got ball and chased down 'bewildered' Don DiMaggio to tag him out at 2b.
