We sure it's a 2-run homer?
What teammate who scores on a home run doesn't wait at the plate for the guy who hit the home run to congratulate him? Add to that the fact that home runs were significantly more rare than they would be just 5-10 years later and I would assume anyone who scored on a home run would be giving the hitter a big hug.
I think this was a solo shot and the person walking to the dugout was a coach who ran out to give the ump a replacement ball (since I would doubt they kept 5 balls in a hip bag back then)...just my observation.
