This is an original 1937 photograph featuring Babe Ruth and John Montague playing in a charity golf match. The match reportedly drew an estimated 10,000 spectators to New York's Fresh Meadow Country Club. Babe Ruth was, of course, the most famous athlete on the planet and also an avid golfer. John Montague was the subject of much mystery and intrigue. He was famously acquitted of armed robbery in 1937, but was a celebrity in the New York area. 7x9", Associated Press. PSA Type 1.
