Hi Octavio, this might be it?
On June 13, 1942, Ruth played in the Navy Relief Society and Army Emergency Relief Exhibition Match at Forest Hill Field Club in Bloomfield. Craig Wood, only six days after winning the U.S. Open, teamed with legendary entertainer Bob Hope while Ruth was paired with Corporal Vic Ghezzi (in uniform), who would defeat Byron Nelson in 38 holes a month later to win the PGA championship.
