One of four Cincinnati infielders in the early 1920s who were graduates of the San
Francisco sandlots, Bohne broke up Dodger Dazzy Vance's bid for a no-hitter with
two outs in the ninth (6/17/23). That year a Chicago newspaper story implied that
Bohne and Pat Duncan were associated with gamblers. The players were cleared by a
federal judge, and later Bohne was awarded damages in a libel suit.
