Coast League Flags To Be At Half Mast
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16—President Clarence Rowland of the Pacific Coast League said flags at all PCL parks would be at half mast tonight and there would be one minute of silent tribute before the games in honor of the memory of Babe Ruth.
“He was America's sports here—a hero to young and old,” Rowland said. “There will never be another like him.”
