They didn't and it wasn't; they put Max Schmeling on a great many cards back in the day because he was the only German to hold the undisputed heavyweight title. Ruth was the sidekick on this one. There were a ton of ciggie card makers around Dresden and they all put Schmeling into sport, celebrity and entertainment (his wife was an actress) sets.
