Notes & reviews

after two pitches well outside the strike zone (scored as a wild pitch and a passed ball), Claude Passeau was struck on the back and he threw his bat at Hugh Casey; Casey started towards Passeau but Joe Gallagher ran onto the field and tackled Passeau; both benches cleared; Gabby Hartnett pulled Gallagher off Passeau and Stan Hack punched Gallagher on the nose, drawing blood; Gallagher and Passeau ejected by HP umpire Ziggy Sears
