A little comedy is injected into an 11-inning, 9 – 8 Braves victory over the Phillies. The Braves’ Rabbit Maranville makes the 3rd out of the 4th inning in a steal attempt at second base. He argues vigorously and at length. Fresco Thompson of the Phils finally tires of it, picks up the scrappy little guy and carries him to his position at SS.
