Trouble Flares in Brooklyn As Dodgers Edge Phils
In Brooklyn last night Russ Meyer of the Phils collided with Jackie Robinson at home plate in the eighth inning of the Dodgers 4 3 win over the 1950 champions. Robinson scored after a squeeze bunt as Meyer tried to block the plate. Teammates prevented blows, and Brooklyn left 15 on base yet won on Robinsons run. The Phils again failed with runners in scoring position and ineffective pitching.
