Duplicate return, indicates total amount of payments reported as $10,000. Dated on Feb.11, 1937, Ruth's address is listed as c/o Christy Walsh Syndicate 235 East 45th. Street, New York City. Written in the hand of Joe Bihler, right hand man of Ruth and his agent, Christy Walsh. Of all the documents in the collection, this is the only one ghost-signed for Ruth by Bihler. Interestingly, it somewhat resembles the Babe's. Wonder how many checks Joe Bihler wrote out?
