Notes & reviews

About 500 YMCA boys were guests of Brooklyn
Over RF wall
Herman couldn't find his favorite bats in the rack in front of the Dodger dugout so he went over in front of the Reds bench and found his three bats. He threw two of them over to the Brooklyn bench and went to the plate with the other.
