Seeks Larger Share Of Babe Ruth Estate
The oldest adopted daughter of the late George Herman Babe Ruth seeks a larger share of his $500000 estate. Dorothy Ruth Sullivan, now 52, plans amicable settlement rather than court action and claims unfair treatment under the will. She received a $5000 early bequest and a $4004 trust, with 45 percent of the estate to her, 40 percent to another adopted daughter and 10 percent to a children's foundation. Gerrity, Ruth's counsel, notes Sullivan was bereaved and seeks additional personal property such as photographs and mementos she says were not returned.
