There has to be a photo of this game out there somewhere. Too big a local event not to be photographed.
There's a 1916 Spring Training Joe Jackson photo on this link. Also a good 1917 Team Spring Training photo showing the split squad uniforms of that year, similar to what the article describes.

That 1916 photo is superb. And I agree, definitely at least a snapshot out there somewhere
