Carrier pigeons used for correspondence were not passenger pigeons and they are not extinct. They were invaluable communication sources during WWI and even WWII. Like Steve wrote they were also used for spreading news so he may be right about the bird the Babe is holding. |

In the Boston Evening American , Nick Flatley wrote that the Red Sox had "lost the greatest drawing card the game has ever known, and the esteem of many of thousands of supporters." Calling Ruth "a bird [who] hops into the picture once in a lifetime," Flatley predicted the quick demise of a Ruth-less Red Sox and the prompt elevation of the Yankees into pennant contention. |
