Blotto, the 1930 Laurel & Hardy comedy, ran on TCM last night (both the US release and the extended Spanish-language version).
Not quite halfway through the movie, Stan's wife goes to a sporting-goods store to buy a shotgun. In the background can be seen
a pictorial ad for tennis rackets, a box of balls for some undetermined sport, and, most prominently, a sign at the upper right of the shot that reads

BABE RUTH
Major League
xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxx

along with other too-small-to-be-legible text. The last word might be "Gloves," but it's pretty blurry.

Edit: four and a half years later, here's a look, cribbed from YouTube [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NWXbBFI1Qw ]:
