Umpire Sullivan,
injured the day before, has limited mobility and appoints the catchers to
call fair and foul. The Millers were
down 4-2 with runners at second and third and two out in the seventh. Denny Sullivan hit a drive over the
right-field fence, apparently good for two bases (by Toledo ground rules),
but catcher Dave Zearfoss called it foul.
Zearfoss and umpire Sullivan were surrounded by angry Millers, but the
call stood. Win Kellum relieved Howie
Camnitz and struck out Sullivan to end the inning. |

After a game in Kansas
City, the Louisville team has many players injured as their wagonette is
struck by a street car, dragged, and badly wrecked. League president Joseph O'Brien calls for a
vote of Association teams to allow teams to loan players to Louisville, which
would be unable to to continue without new recruits. Louisville was in fourth place with a 68-61
record at the time. |
