Notes & reviews

Protest=H
Catcher Carreon ejected by HP umpire Paparella; Power was slow getting into batter's box so umpire ordered pitcher to throw, but then called the pitch a ball instead of the automatic strike called for in the rules; Carreon argued and was ejected; White Sox played game under protest
Early Wynn left with sore right elbow
after taking a strike, Jimmy Piersall turned around and $batted lefthanded; after striking out he took off his helmet and kicked it like a football into the Cleveland dugout
Jimmy Piersall tossed his cap to the fans behind the Sox dugout
