Notes & reviews

SS Harvey Kuenn shifted from left side to right side of 2B during Williams' at bat; after Kuenn moved four times before a pitch; Williams asked HP umpire Eddie Rommel if that was legal; Red Sox manager Pinky Higgins told Rommel he would protest the game if Kuenn continued; Rommel told Tigers manager Bucky Harris to have Kuenn stop; Fred Hatfield and Tigers Coach Billy Hitchcock ejected by Rommel for heckling
