Notes & reviews

Play-by-play deduced from newspaper game stories and box score
umpchange,5,ump1b,(none)
BIR manager T. Sampson argued call at 1B; Umpire McNair pulled a knife on Sampson who ran away but then grabbed a bat from one of his players and attacked McNair. Order was restored by police and McNair was escorted off the field.
