Notes & reviews

the fly ball to the top of the LF wall was caught by a fan and ruled a home run; when the Reds argued, 3B umpire Larry Goetz went out to LF and changed his ruling to a double; Dodgers manager Burleigh Grimes, coaching at 1B, pulled out a red handkerchief and covered his faced in the style of a stage coach bandit; Grimes ejected by Goetz; regular 1B coach Babe Ruth had been ejected from the first game and was not eligible to coach this game
