What a terrific article! Really takes you back to another world.
I looked up the original article at the New Yorker archives. Just as you suspected the baseball cards were added in after the fact. Only the A&G Glasscock on the first page was in the original. The Caruthers was actually a card of "Black Eye - Blackfeet Sioux" and the cards on the bottom were all non-sports types. On the other three pages rather than cards there were your typical New Yorker cartoons in the spaces. All the same a delight to read. Thanks for posting.
