Notes & reviews

next two plays really one; double play, misplay, putout
Elbie Fletcher threw to Huck Geary who tossed to Pete Coscarart trying to get Gee Walker, who rounded 2B too far; Walker ran to 3B and Coscarart's throw hit him on the back; the ball rolled into the outfield and Walker tried to score
