Scoreboard Reflections on a Baseball Day
The piece notes McGraw watching Marquard give up two hits to the Giants and hints at Marquard's allies with a wild Zimmermann throw aiding the Robins. Milan misplayed a ball allowing a Yankees tied game, then Washington won in the 13th on a Walter Johnson hit. Cravath Stock homered to carry the Phillies past the Braves. Mollwitz drove in three for Pittsburgh as Steele blanked Chicago. Gonzales fueled a Cardinal win with a homer two doubles and a single. The Cards beat the Reds, and players concede one part of baseball is non-essential the empire.
