Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photographs accompany "Red Ruffing Denies He's in Holdout Class," Los Angeles Times, 24 Jan 1939: A9. Charles "Red" Ruffing and his wife, Pauline Ruffing (née Pauline Mulholland), sit together on a sofa. She is seated partially on her husband, and leaning into him. Her left arm is around his neck, and she holds a trophy in each hand. He holds an ashtray with a statue of a pitcher in his hands. The trophies and the ashtray are presents from his wife. They are both smiling and looking at something off camera. He wears a collared button-down shirt with his sleeves rolled up and slacks; she wears a fringed dark dress and brooch.
