Notes & reviews

St Louis batters Pratt-Walker-Howard batted out of turn (they batted Howard-Pratt-Walker) in the first three innings (Boston never called it to the umpires attention)
Speaker over-ran 1st
St Louis recognizes that they had been batting out of turn and now bats in turn for rest of game
At the end of the inning Boston manager Carrigan notices that St Louis batted out of turn in the first three innings and argued with both umpires. The umpires told him it was too late to do anything about it now.
Sisler grounded to 2bman Barry who threw out Pratt at home (catcher Cady ran Pratt back toward 3rd and tagged him out). Cady then tried to nail Sisler advancing to 2nd. Seeing home unguarded Howard took off for home. 2bman Barry threw wild back to home and both runners scored. Cady was ejected by HP umpire Wallace for arguing Sisler was out at home.
