Notes & reviews

Doyle Lade bunted along the 1B line; Johnny Vander Meer allowed the ball to roll foul and it was ruled so by HP umpire George Magerkurth; 1B umpire Bill Stewart ruled it was a fair ball and the Reds stormed around Stewart; Magerkurth's call stood and the Cubs argued with him; Cubs Coach Roy Johnson ejected by Magerkurth
