Description
American baseball player Babe Ruth (1895 - 1948) (born George Herman Ruth Jr) waves his cap while astride 'King Jess,' a Holstein bull, on an estate in Harrington Park, New Jersey, November 9, 1922. Ruth was one of the public figures invited to an estate owned lawyer John M. Kelley to witness a wager between Kelley and circus rider May Wirth that she ride his famously ill-tempered beast; Wirth suceeded, as did Ruth, one only a few of the other celebrites induced to attempt the feat.
