When the angry crowd outside saw themselves thus shut out, they broke into a riot, with wild yells of " Down with the management!'' The noise sounded in the auditorium, but Toscannini, growing furious, relentlessly continued the performance.

The side was retired, however, without further scoring...
...Crimson started things off with a rush. Criges was wild at the outset, passing Clark with four straight balls. Gordon flied out to third, Jenkins walked to first, and Owen was hit by a pitched ball. With the bases full, Buell popped up a high fly to the catcher. Then Hammond, who played brilliantly throughout the game, came through with a scratch single to right field, and Clark and Jenkins crossed the plate...
