Notes & reviews

Suspend=19470925,,5,4,39
Eddie Stanky and Dodgers Coach Ray Blades ejected by HP umpire George Barr
the Phillies began stalling when they were only five minutes before curfew
Gene Hermanski and Dixie Walker allowed to advance without a play
Stan Rojek ran out of the box to swing at intentional ball, but HP umpire George Barr would not call him out
Gene Hermanski trotted toward HP and catcher Don Padgett stood with the ball, allowing Hermanski to run into it for the third out

suspended,19470925,PHI11,stalling $game suspended with 2-1 count on Harry Walker after he couldn't find his bat; when time reached 6:59 PM, the score reverted to the last complete inning, so an apparent 5-4 Dodger win became a tie; NL President Ford Frick ruled the next day that the stalling tactics of the Phillies were excessive and he ordered the game resumed from the point of suspension instead of being replayed; it was completed on 9/25 with new umpires
