Babe Ruth Fails to Hit in Season Opener for Yankees
New York, June 1. Babe Ruth, returning from illness, went hitless in his first major league game of the season for the Yankees against Washington with Walter Johnson pitching. He drew a walk, made a running catch, and grounded out in other at bats as the crowd of 18,000 roared and cameras clicked. Ruth exited after six innings as manager Huggins held him back from overexertion.

Rights of catcher and runner in baserunning rules
In baseball, a fielder with the ball may not block a base path before securing possession. The baserunner may try to reach the base by any legal means, but a catcher or fielder lacking the ball cannot obstruct the runner. If the fielder blocks the path before having the ball, the umpire should award the base to the runner. The guidance reflects a code of fair play and safety observed by the American Association in Indianapolis.
