If he had played 140 games this season, Maranville would have passed the record of Pittsburgh's Honus Wagner who played in 2,785. Famed for his basket-catches of infield flies, his picayune size, his antics on the field and off, Maranville hoped also to play until he had grandchildren old enough to watch him.

Pitching was poor for both teams...
...park. A single will do." O'Doul cracked the next ball into centre field for a single, scoring Critz and Terry, putting the Giants ahead. Another single by Jackson sent Ott home. A bunt by Mancuso, the Giants' slow-waddling catcher, utterly demoralized the infield. When they came to their senses, O'Doul was in with another run. Crowder managed to fan Ryan. Pitcher Schumacher singled to left and Jackson slid home. By that time the entire Giant team had batted during the inning. Moore led off again, smacked the first ball into centre field, letting Mancuso...
