Without seeing a scan with the original question he posed I suggested he look at the w560 set as well. Once he proved the scan, as you noticed as well, it obviously wasn't w560.

There's a thread where Adam catalogues this entire playing card set, but I could not find it. I found a similar thread here: Link that shows some of the other cards in this set. I have four of the Ruth's with slight color variations.

Mixed subject set that (as far as baseball goes includes Babe Ruth (AD), Bob Meusel 6C), Tris Speaker (9S), and John McGraw (KC).)

Set also includes boxers and actors as far as we know (pictures are some that I have picked up over the years)...





Keep in mind there is another set that appears to be all acors that have oval pictures in the middle (not square) that appear to be from a completely different set.

The cards were issued in vertical strips of ten. Sometimes you find a card with a long top or bottom as a result of being the end card. It is a very hard set to assemble.

That Ruth run is sick...

Here is the speaker:



here is one of the long cards:



ETA: couldn't any of these kids use scissors?
