September 30, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, September 30, 1934 

* Babe Ruth's last home run as a Yankee 
* New York Yankees - Major league baseball
* Best title to be had ?


Page 3 of the sport's section (inside) has one column headings that include: "YANKEES LOSE, 8-5, THEN TRIUMPH, 9-6" "Ruth Wallops 22d Homer and Drives in Three Runs in Opener at Washington" "Gets Unique Honor Today" and more.

This would turn out to be Babe Ruth's final home run wearing pinstripes as a Yankee. He had 49 homers with the Red Sox prior to coming to New York and will hit another 6 with the Boston Braves the following season before retiring. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication, especially on this topic.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with much on the upcoming World Series games. Complete in a thick 80+ page Sunday edition, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
