When King Kelly relieves the pitcher in his debut game, the scoreboard reads Chicago 6, St. Louis (Kelly's team) 7, top of the sixth inning, with no outs. After Kelly retires one batter, his team leaves the field and celebrates their victory as they change out of their uniforms in the locker room. Perhaps, the game was one that rain had postponed, the previous day, when Vernon was strongly wanting to become a baseball pitcher, without any rookie team practice. Or there was an off-screen decision, among the managers, that the game was shortened to six innings, because Saint Louis had a weak team, and could not go nine innings and win a majority of their games, until Vernon Simpson, aka King Kelly was tested and accepted.
