I have seen a number of copies of this photo - some full sized. One that sold at HA was even signed by both guys:

There are a few other shots taken just before/after as the other guys have moved, especially the guy swinging the paddle on the left.
I think I once saw one like yours in a larger album of photos oh Hawaii. Given the number out there, this seems to have been a popular photo at the time. There is a photographer, Fritz Kraft (

Also, I just found this non-game photo of Ruth in Hawaii attributed to Kraft:

Picked it up with somel auto'd wrestling photos of Shikat and Londos wrestling in the Philly baseball stadium and dated 1930. For what it's worth, the wrestling pics are the same size with similar numbers stamped on back. From what I understand, the Babe photo was taken 1934. And other info is welcome. I wonder if the Babe was able to hang 10  |
