Notes & reviews

Babe Ruth ejected by 1B umpire George Hildebrand for throwing dirt which struck the arbiter on the shoulder; the crowd booed as Ruth reached the dugout and Ruth jumped into the reserved seats after one of the fans; the fan made a hasty exit upon seeing Ruth enter the stands; Ruth suspended one game.
Over the fence behind LF bleachers
Rice: wonderful running catch
A steady rain started to fall
Into upper RF stands
Into LF bleachers
Hoyt: bare-handed stop
