It has more to do with postcards than it does anything else...postcards were a huge rage from about 1905-1915..after that not so much. You don't see this with just baseball postcards, but all postcards across the board. Town ball pretty much disappeared in the World War years...Organized little leagues and Legion ball for the most part replaced town team ball post WW2.
