Rare original news service photo of Red Sox rookie George Herman Ruth shot by famous Underwood & Underwood, NY. Circa 1914. This image measures 6" x 7 1/2" having been trimmed down from a larger size over the years. A slightly cracked vertical crease has been taped on the verso where remnants of the original caption sheet remain. The image itself despite some creases is in fine condition. It depicts a youthful Ruth in uniform leaning up against the stands, arms folded, looking off pensively toward the field.
