The Yankees All-Star catcher Bill Dickey is knocked to the ground after getting drilled in the back of the head by a Joe Sullivan pitch, fellow catcher Mickey Cochrane and umpire Harry Geisel look on with concern. The first inning beaning would end Dickey’s day as backup catcher Arndt Jorgens would replace him. At the time the Yanks were already up 3-0 on the Tigers with the help of the wild arm of Sullivan issuing two walks to the first batters of the game. New York would take the Thursday afternoon contest 5-2 in front of estimated 6,000 Detroit fans as pitcher Johnny Allen would hold the Tigers to five hits on the day.
