Notes & reviews

Dodger manager Durocher ejected by 3B umpire Magerkurth arguing Goodman was out at 2nd; original call by 1B umpire Stewart was out, but after ummpires huddled, call was changed to muffed catch and Durocher was ejected
a fan attacked 3B umpire George Magerkurth near 1B as the umpires left the field; the two exchanged blows and Magerkurth fell with the fan on top of him; the man continued to strike Magerkurth on the face until 1B umpire Bill Stewaart put a head lock on the fan and pulled him off Magerkurth; the fan was charged with assault
