The main line of development, however, runs from the dance company of Ruth St. Denis ( 1878 – 1968 ) and her husband-partner, Ted Shawn ( 1891 – 1972 ), which produced work exploring images from other countries that were considered exotic by American audiences.

* In 1946, the Red Sox appeared in their first World Series since the sale of Babe Ruth and were favored to beat the St. Louis Cardinals.

Modell and his wife, former television actress Patricia Breslin, donated millions of dollars to a variety of charities, most notably the SEED School, a boarding school being developed in Baltimore for disadvantaged youth ; Johns Hopkins Hospital ; Kennedy Krieger Institute ; St. Vincent ’ s Center, a home for abused children ; and the House Of Ruth, a domestic violence center.

In the 1926 World Series, the Cardinals defeated the Yankees in a seven-game series ; Hornsby tagged out Babe Ruth on a stolen base attempt, ending the Series and giving St. Louis its first undisputed world championship.

Seymour and Rosina had two children ; a girl Ruth Mary ( 1867 – 1953 ) was born whilst the couple were in Tangier and a boy Harold St. Maur born in Brighton.

He gained recognition by degrees, and in 1866 he was engage by Ruth Herbert as her leading man and sometime stage director at the St. James's Theatre, London, where her first played Doricourt in The Belle's Stratagem.

He was ghost writer for Babe Ruth, whose main talent for literary composition was the signing of his autograph.

Babe Ruth, of course, was everyone's hero, and everyone knew him, even though relatively few ever saw him play ball.

As the twenties grew older, and as radio broadcasts of baseball games began to involve more and more people daily in the doings of the professionals, the great hitters ( always led by Babe Ruth ) overshadowed the game so that pitchers were nearly of no account.

Other hitters bloomed with more or less vigor in the news and a few even dared to dream of matching Ruth, who was still called Jidge by all his friends, or Leo or Two-Head by those who dared to taunt him ( Leo was the name of the ball player he liked the least ) and who called most of the world `` Kid ''.

Lou Gehrig was given the nickname Buster, and he ran Ruth a close race in home runs.

But the nickname never stuck and Gehrig was no match for Ruth in `` color '' -- which is sometimes a polite word for delinquent behavior on and off the field.

Ruth was a delinquent boy still, but he was in every way a great ball player who was out to win the game and occasionally risked a cracked bone to do it.

In his minor way Charles Arthur Shires was perhaps more typical of his era than Ruth was, for he was but one of many young men who laid waste their talents in these Scott Fitzgerald days for the sake of earning space in the newspapers.

Ruth himself, still owning his farm in Massachusetts and an interest in the Massachusetts cigar business that printed his round boyish face on the wrappers, had led the parade down from Fenway Park, followed by pitchers Carl Mays, Leslie `` Joe '' Bush, Waite Hoyt, Herb Pennock, and Sam Jones, catcher Wally Schang, third baseman Joe Dugan ( who completed the `` playboy trio '' of Ruth, Dugan, and Hoyt ), and shortstop Everett Scott.

Babe Ruth, as he always did in the Stadium, played right field to avoid having the sun in his eyes, and Tommy Thevenow, a rather mediocre hitter who played shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals, knocked a ball with all his might into the sharp angle formed by the permanent stands and the wooden bleachers, where Ruth could not reach it.

Mazeroski, whose homer beat the Yankees in the final series game, will receive the Babe Ruth Award as the outstanding player in the 1960 world series.

pianists Leon Fleisher, Ruth Slenczynka and Stephen Bishop and conductor Earl Bernard Murray.

This, of course, is baseball's most remarkable mark: The 60 home runs hit in 1927 by the incorrigible epicure, the incredible athlete, George Herman ( Babe ) Ruth of the Yankees.

But now, for the first time since Lou Gehrig ( with 47 home runs ) spurred Ruth on in 1927, two men playing for the same team have zeroed in on 60.

After 108 games in 1927, Ruth had 35 home runs.

Thus, in `` The Story Of Ruth '' we have Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz and sets that are meticulously authentic.

But except for a vague adherence to the basic storyline -- i.e., that Ruth remained with Naomi and finally wound up with Boaz -- the film version has little to do with the Bible.

His first generation of students included Alfred Kroeber, Robert Lowie, Edward Sapir and Ruth Benedict, who each produced richly detailed studies of indigenous North American cultures.

This was most obvious in the ' Culture and Personality ' studies carried out by younger Boasians such as Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict.

Boas had planned for Ruth Benedict to succeed him as chair of Columbia's anthropology department, but she was sidelined by Ralph Linton, and Mead was limited to her offices at the AMNH.
