Notes & reviews
- overflow crowd on the field
- into the overflow crowd
- into the overflow crowd Babe Ruth complained to the umpires that spectators in foul territory were running out to get the balls before he had a chance to get them; Yankees manager Miller Huggins joined in the complaint, insisting that HP umpire Brick Owens should demand better policing of the field; the Babe returned to LF and appealed directly to police to exert greater vigilance while the crowd good naturedly hooted him; the game resumed after a 5 minute delay
