Prominent, 8\" x 5\" inside page photo and caption of the news that NY Yankee star baseball player BABE RUTH has married CLAIRE HODGSON.

Claire Merritt Hodgson (born Clara Mae Merritt September 11, 1900 – October 25, 1976) was a native of Athens, Georgia, United States, who is most famous for having been the second wife of Babe Ruth.

Claire met Ruth in 1923, a year after her husband Frank Hodgson died, leaving her with a daughter, Julia. Ruth was still married to Helen Woodford, his first wife, at this time. Woodford died in a house fire in January 1929, and Ruth and Hodgson married that April 17, staying together until Ruth\'s death in 1948. In later years, she indicated her responsibility, in part, for the poor relationship between her husband and teammate Lou Gehrig. According to Claire, Gehrig\'s mother indicated that the Ruth\'s adopted daughter, Dorothy, was not as well dressed as Claire\'s natural daughter, Julia; when Ruth was informed of this, he angrily demanded that Gehrig never speak to him off the ballfield again. Ruth and Gehrig would not make up until the day of Gehrig\'s famous \"I\'m the luckiest man in the world\" speech in 1939. Later, Claire admitted that she had overreacted, apologetically accepting full responsibility for the rift between the two players—which, however, had numerous other causes besides the one indicated by Claire.
