Notes & reviews

40 minute rain delay
Al Simmons suffered a broken bone in his left hand; the sound was so loud that Oral Hildebrand claimed the ball struck the bat; Simmons started to hit Hildebrand but HP umpire Cal Hubbard got between them; as Simmons headed to 1B, Bill Knickerbocker argued with Simmons
Al Simmons collided with Bill Knickerbocker and they fought; Simmons and Knickerbocker ejected by HP umpire Cal Hubbard
