Baseball notes on Highlanders and locals in Boston
The report details a tense game with the Highlanders scoring five times on four singles while locals managed two runs. Joe Wood fueled the Mets with three walks and five passed balls as Ford allowed three. Neal Ball replaced Janvrin at short, but Wagner’s absence hurt fielding. Ball’s error led to a New York run, and lazy windups allowed baserunners to steal. Walter stole home in the ninth, Vik Wood failing to deter. The crowd barely reached 5000 for a flag day ceremony, hampered by cold weather and General Apathy replacing Humidity and Mayor Fitzgerald.

Parade Day Flubs Marked New York Highlanders and Red Sox
An executive misses the parade, flag raising is hastily done, and the teams proceed in a loose line. Chance Stahl and others raise the blue and gold emblem of a world championship before returning, while umpires skip formalities in a chaotic scene. Highlanders start with Buck Daniels, Red Sox strike early as Ford fails to wow locals, Wood sours start, Sweeney doubles, Peckinpaugh hits, Hooper may misread, and Sweeney steals second amid a tense, incomplete display.
