You are 100% correct. That's Babe Ruth and the driver is actor Harold Lloyd. Great stuff!!!!

Wondered about that one too! If you look carefully, it looks like the conductor in the front gets smashed into the pole!

Very cool footage. Hard to believe this was before WWII, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, The Wizard of Oz, and Gone with the Wind.
