Regardless of whether we are talking print or photo (this would obviously be a print) it is not authentic, you can tell by the paper and the crazing in the black portions and the fact that the photo is not very crisp. 1942 was during WW2 and paper was scarce, but technology was good. I doubt that they would have made a "print" of a Negro League team at this time period where paper was in such short supply that they were having scrap paper drives on every street corner. 99.9% sure by sight alone this is not authentic to the period add in the WW2 factor and with Phil's assesment I would say we are pretty certain here.
