Notes & reviews

Debut for umpire Joe Schratz, Elmer Guckert, Al Cohen and Ralph Betcher; the vendors at Three Rivers Stadium were on strike and the umpires, ushers, electricians and grounds keepers honored the picket line; the teams had no batting practice due to problems removing the tarp from the field; the game started 11 minutes late; four amateur umpires worked in place of Nick Colosi, Paul Runge, Lee Weyer and Ed Montague
