...second half of that inning was a half-hour uproar. Critz was on first with one out when Bill Terry lashed a two-bagger into left field, putting Critz on third. Crowder prudently gave Ott a base on balls, to the noisy disgust of the bleachers. Then to the plate shambled a tall, stooped figure-"Lefty" O'Doul.
