Notes & reviews

Stan Williams threw at Bill Mazeroski and was warned by HP umpire Jocko Conlan
Norm Larker hit a popup in the infield; catcher Hal Smith ran under the ball, which fell untouched and bounced foul between HP and 1B; the Dodgers claimed Smith touched the ball; Dodgers Coach Leo Durocher threw a towel out of the dugout and was ejected by Conlan; Durocher ran onto the field and they each kicked at each other's shins; Don Drysdale pulled Durocher back to the dugout
