Baseball Game

The image shows a group of young men playing a game, probably baseball or softball, in a field. One person is running what appears to be a sack on the ground as a base, while another is about to catch a ball. There are onlookers to the side and in the background. There are penned-in names with arrows pointing to figures in the photo. On the left margin of the photo, the name "Harry Coccoran" is written with an arrow poining to a young man sitting to the side. The name "Sack Doyle" is written in the top left margin with an arrow pointing to a young man leaning in frame to watch. The perjorative nickname "Jew Evans" is written on the top margin towards the left with an arrow pointing to another onlooking young man. The name "Holley" is written on the top margin in the middle with an arrow pointing to the man running towards the base. The name "Lt. Sivills" is written in the top margin on the right with an arrow pointing to the person about to catch the ball. The name "Exec Clark" is written on the right side with an arrow pointing to a man who is laying on the ground, as if he dove to catch the ball. On the back of the photo, the number 358 is stamped in ink.
