THE DAY, New London, Connecticut, September 25, 1925 

* Babe Ruth - New York Yankees 
* 1st ever player to hit 'ultimate home run'
 

This 18 page newspaper has under "American League Pennant Flutters Unchallenged At Senators' Masthead" on page 14, various baseball reports from the games the day before.

Included in these reports is mention of Babe Ruth hitting a game winning grand slam home run in the tenth inning against the Chicago White Sox.

The 'Sultan of Swat" becomes the first modern player to blast an ultimate grand slam, a walk-off homer with the bases full which wins the game by one run.

Other news of the day. A few tiny binding holes along the spine, otherwise in good condition.
