Notes & reviews

Braves Coach Si Johnson ejected by HP umpire Bill Stewart
Braves manager Billy Southworth was showered with pop bottles when he took his place in the 3B coach's box; Phillies fans had been booing him the entire series for not selecting Ken Heintzelman or Robin Roberts for the N.L. All-Star team; the public address announcer warned the fans to stop or the game would be forfeited to Boston
