Notes & reviews

Stan Musial rounded 2B too far
Sam Jethroe's homer shattered the 'PB' and 'FC' signs on the scoreboard
Red Schoendienst dropped the ball on purpose to put Walker Cooper on the bases rather than Eddie Mathews
George Crowe had a play on Dick Sisler at HP, but hesitated and threw too late to 2B
