Baseball's Babe ____ (4)
I believe the answer is:
ruth
'baseball's babe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ruth that I've seen before include "Girl's name - compassion" , "once felt for a Moabite woman" , "She is followed by Samuel" , "Babe -, US baseball player" , "Damsel" .)
