Notes & reviews

Bill Salkeld dropped the third strike and threw the ball to Earl Torgeson; Torgeson did not realize that Salkeld had dropped the pitch and started the throw around the infield; Bobby Sturgeon alertly threw the ball back to Torgeson
Walker Cooper called for interference for running into his own batted ball; Sid Gordon was tagged out at HP in the confusion and was slightly injured; all runners were sent back to their bases
