Looks like a stamp to me, especially the smudging.

Agree dating the ball is key. Although Little League was founded in 1939, it was very limited, I think only 3 or 4 teams or small areas.
It wasn’t incorporated until the early 50’s, if I recall, and it would be more likely to have special balls made around that time, than in Ruth’s lifetime.

There are so many things wrong with the signature HOWEVER I can’t say for certain that it’s no good. I won’t completly rule this out as being fake. Would probably need to see it in hand. But I'm going to say in all likelihood that it is GOOD.

Agree with others here, but in terms of dating, I did find this:

In previous years starting in 1940, Carl E. Stotz Official Little League baseballs were made by (approximate dating); Reach (1940-1945) MacGregor Goldsmith (1945-1951) Wilson (1951) and Worth. After 1955 The Official Little League baseballs did not feature a Commissioner stamp.
