Professor Hamilton's Diary: May 30, 1935

Yard work and reading; Babe Ruth has his last time at bat

Professor Hamilton had a fairly relaxing day today, including some yard work in the morning and some academic work in the afternoon. After the children were put to bed, he, Margaret and her mother had “refreshments” and he finished reading Carl Becker’s Every Man His Own Historian and wrote a review of it.

Babe Ruth, the “Sultan of Swat,” had his final time at bat in Philadelphia today. Paid subscribers can read on. Click below to upgrade and get the full Bootleggers experience!
