I'm trying to do some research on a photograph that I have & I'm hoping that someone can help me out. Does anyone have access to above mentioned newspaper article? I'd be happy to reimburse for the time & effort. Thanks, Jeremy

I'm sorry if this should be in the BST.

Kris- Thanks for all your help. I'm pretty sure that I have definitive date on the photo now.

Very interesting one hour and fifty minute game. Those were the days. Why are the hits listed under "B" in the heading of the box score?

Jeremy, glad you were able to find that article to pair with that great photo. Very well done.
Gary, I think in some early box scores like that, the B represented bases, so a single was 1, double 2 etc. interestingly, your guy Barnes, had quite a few fielding plays compared to the others.

Gary, now I reread the article it does seem to be hits not bases.
