Notes & reviews

Regular umpires failed to appear so Browns trainer Bits Bierhalter (a former minor league umpire) and former MLB player Mike Donlin (who happened to be at the game) were the umpires
Caldwell was chased back to 3rd where Pratt was standing; both were tagged and Pratt declared out
Yankees coach O'Connor pressed into service as both Yankees catchers were out of the game
Game called for darkness
