I just went through his game log from 1919 and there isn't a single game that ended with him hitting a walk-off double, but he is credited for a walk-off homer on September 20th at home.
A record of those lost "homers" on Retrosheet credits Ruth with one during the 1918 season, and it was a triple. The rule changed in 1920. Prior to the rule, you couldn't win by more than one run on a walk-off hit. While it might not be a complete list, Retrosheet has it happening 44 times before the rule changed, so it didn't happen often (basically an average of once a year)
