My best guess would be 1910 also. Wichita had just joined the Western League the previous year and the new stadium, Island Park or League Park, was constructed in 1910. I would think that they would try and promote the new stadium with these postcards. Wichita played in this stadium until 1933. I've never tried to pinpoint the year on this postcard but mine is postmarked 1914. There was a time when this postcard was difficult to find but with ebay I've seen around a dozen. Your's is in great shape and a nice example of an early minor league ballpark.

If you have any more questions let me know.
