THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, September 1, 1925
* Babe Ruth under suspension indefinitely
* New York Yankees
* Miller Huggins
This 44 page newspaper has Two column headline on page 15: "Ruth Arrives Here Today" with subheads that include: "RUPPERT DECLARES HUGGINS WILL STAY" "Says Ruth Must Make Peace With Manager if He Is to Play With Yanks Again" "Babe On Way To New York" and more.
Tells of Ruth's recent suspension and problem with Yankee's manager Miller J. Huggins.
Usual browning with some margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
wikipedia notes: During spring training in 1925, Ruth fell ill, and returned to New York for what was reported as stomach surgery. Ruth's ailment was dubbed "the bellyache heard round the world," when one writer wrote that Ruth's illness was caused binging on hot dogs and soda pop before a game. Actually this was nothing new, as the gluttonous Ruth frequently binged on food before games. Venereal disease and alcoholic poisoning (caused by tainted liquor, a major health problem during Prohibition) have also been speculated to be the causes of his illness. However, the exact nature of his ailment has never been confirmed and the exact nature of Ruth's illness remains a mystery. Playing just 98 games, Ruth had what would be his worst season as a Yankee as he finished the season with a .290 average and 25 home runs. The Yankees team finished next to last in the American League with a 69-85 mark. It would be 40 years before a Yankees team would again experience such a poor season.
