Notes & reviews

Snuffy Stirnweiss dropped the infield fly; he threw the ball to Yogi Berra who stepped on HP and ran to 3B; after Berra tagged Don Kolloway the Yankees insisted this was a triple play but 3B umpire Red Jones ruled Stirnweiss dropped the ball intentionally
Tigers Coach Dick Bartell ejected by HP umpire Eddie Hurley
