Jake Jones of the Red Sox hits a 60 foot triple

Jake Jones of the Red Sox hits a foul ball along the third base line in the 6th. Browns P Fred Sanford throws his glove at the ball to prevent it from rolling into fair territory. Umpire Cal Hubbard awards Jones a triple on the basis of the rule about intentionally thrown gloves. In 1954 the rule is changed so that it only applies to fair balls.
