BABE RUTH, STUFFY McINNIS,
ED BARROW & HARRY FRAZEE

THE LAST ONE FOR 86 YEARS

August 29, 1918 ...  Rain prevented the ball game from being played today.  A doubleheader will be played tomorrow, with the first game starting at 1:45.  Babe Ruth has returned from Baltimore following the death of his father.  The Athletics are without Tillie Walker, who has been called into the Army.
