Notes & reviews

the bunt was allowed to roll
Phillies Roberts, Meyer and Torgeson, latter two not in game, ejected by HP umpire Gore; Roberts had been removed from game and argued about strike zone; the others joined in; fans threw empty beer cans onto field and a 10-minute delay ensued; 3B umpire Jocko Conlan threatened to forfeit the game to the Dodgers if the can throwing did not cease
Jackie Robinson injured his neck on a bunt play last inning
