At the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, a woman’s
rights convention—the first ever held in the United States—
convened with almost 200 women in attendance.

The convention was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, two abolitionists who met at the 1840 World Anti-
Slavery Convention in London.

On July 11, 1914, in his major league debut, George Herman
“Babe” Ruth pitched seven strong innings to lead the Boston
Red Sox over the Cleveland Indians (now known as the
Cleveland Guardians), 4-3.
