I say no. From the pictures I've seen, wasn't Ruth a more robust fellow by 1935? The gentlemen in the picture looks a little to thin. Maybe I'm thinking of John Goodman.

Maybe that's what he would've looked like when he was 75 but that is an old man.

If that pic is correctly 1935, no way it's Ruth. His waist alone says NO!

Not definitive, but food for thought.
The Norconian Resort watersports facility was built in 1928. Also, around that time, Babe was in LaLa Land. He'd been a frfequent visitor to So Cal and starred in two full-length films in 1927 and 1928. Also, he'd made five short films for Christy Walsh around 1929-32. The outdoor diving and swimming pools (the only AAU qualifying pools in southern California until the outdoor pools were built in Los Angeles for the 1932 Olympics) were in constant use for exhibition matches and AAU-sanctioned competitions, and many Olympic calibre athletes swam and dove in the Norconian waters... "Several films were shot at the Norconian, and it was not unusual to see Buster Keaton or Babe Ruth on the golf course"
