Babe Ruth & the Red Sox in the World Series...



Item # 707431

October 10, 1915

SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Massachusetts, Oct. 10, 1915  The front page has nice reporting on game 2 of the World Series, pitting Boston against Philadelphia. Boston would win 4 games to 1.
Babe Ruth was on the Boston team during this Series but the Red Sox pitching was so strong that the young Babe Ruth was not used on the mound and only made a single pinch-hitting appearance in game 5 (grounded out). His name does not appear in the front page box score but does appear in the sports page in the box: "Boston Averages" for batting and fielding.
Ruth made his Major League debut with Boston in 1914 which also was his first World Series on a team roster.
The complete 38 page issue, various chipping at the margins and various martin tears, rather fragile & should be handled carefully.
