Jackie Robinson Sliding into Third Base

(Original Caption) Jackie Robinson of the Brooks slides into third on his fourth inning hit that first bounced into the left field stands and then rebounded on the field. The ball, which was relayed to Brave's third baseman Ed Mathews, was kicked by Robinson's foot and can be seen as it soars overhead. Umpire Engeln observes the play. Jackie was compelled to return to second on a ground rule double, which led to a vain rhubarb supported by the entire Dodger flock. Brooks, who dropped three straight in the current four game set, beat the Braves with 2-1 in the 13th.
