Important Note: Unlike most of the games that are based on play-by-play descriptions
in newspapers, this game is a deduced account.
- Most of the outs are shown as an "unknown play".
- Newspaper stories almost always described the half innings with runs scored, so those
are virtually certain to be accurate.
- The other half innings fit the stories and the boxscores, but in some cases there is
uncertainty. There are comments that indicate those. There may be others that we do
not know about.
- The fielding data (putouts, assists, errors) and strikeouts by pitchers are taken from newspaper boxes and are as accurate
as those sources. It was not unusual to find boxes for the same game with slightly different fielding data.
