In the third inning of the afternoon game, St. Paul had Pat
McGlothin on third, Jack Cassini on second, and Sandy Amoros on first with no
out when Bob Wilson flied out to Bob Lennon, who threw home too late to get
McGlothin. Catcher Ray Katt threw to
second-baseman Ronnie Samford, who tagged out Amoros, who was trying to
advance. Samford then threw to third
to try and get Samford, but his throw was wild, allowing Samford to
score. When the ball was retrieved and
thrown to Dandridge at third, McGlothin was called out on appeal for leaving
the base too early. Genovese lodged a
protest when the umpires ruled that Cassini's run still counted. In the July 7 Minneapolis
Tribune, Halsey Hall wrote that the umpires were
uncertain about the meaning of Rule 7.12, which refers to a preceding
runner's failure to touch a base and says if a runner is put out on appeal
for the third out, no runners following him could score. The umpires were unsure if the rulemakers
meant to include failure to tag up in their definition of failure to touch a
base. On August 7 Halsey Hall wrote
that the rule was to be rewritten to avoid confusion over whether missing a
base meant the same as not tagging up. |

O'Connor rules a home run. However,
Indianapolis relayed the ball in and Dandridge, who had slowed down, was
tagged before he could reach home plate.
Starting an 18-minute delay, Indianapolis argued that the ball had hit
the top of the ivy-covered fence but had not cleared it. The umpires reversed the decision and ruled
Dandridge out. Millers manager Chick
Genovese argued, was ejected, and protested the game. |
