The photo appears to be from the early 1900s. When I first saw the image, I thought they looked like Bloomer Girls-- and they likely are. As they are wearing identical baseball uniforms, they were part of a formal team-- and few if any college or high schools would allow women to use these types of uniforms or equipment. Women playing baseball casually in the back yard would wear their everyday clothes-- long skirts, blouses.
