Ruth's shirt was just one of 991 items that were offered during a two-day sale of gloves, bats, * rings, boxing trunks and a 1950s N.H.L.

Franklin (William Franklin III), 41, and Ned (Nelson Edman), 35, caused their parents anguish in their rebellious search for what Ruth calls "their own identities."
