In an attempt to lose weight and regain some of his lost form following the Yankees disastrous 1925 campaign, Ruth hired personal trainer Artie McGovern to whip him into shape. McGovern worked with Ruth for seven seasons from 1926-32, translating into some the most consistently productive years of the The Bambino's career. Offered are three original Babe Ruth-related news service photos from Underwood chronicling Ruth's attempts to shed some extra pounds at McGovern's direction. Trio includes: 1) Babe Ruth with Artie McGovern as McGovern measures Ruth's waistline. 2) Ruth at the tennis courts. 3) Ruth on the golf course. A missing corner can be found here and there across the group but overall quality remains exceptional with full paper captions on reverse of each photo along with substantial Underwood credit stampings. Each photo is guaranteed Type 1.
