1915-ish Spring Training?

If you look in the background looks like some high jumpers or pole vaulters are practicing, so it could be Spring.

True. I guess the markers are up for Spring football. I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to football.

You may have already found these, but several years ago there was an album of photos that had belonged to Lanigan, owner of the red sox , there should be enough to show more of the field, not just the cage. I must admit, when I first saw your posted photo, I immediately thought of the red sox photos. If memory serves they were all 1915 and from hot springs if that helps. good luck. I think the photo you show with Ruth is one of the Lanigan photos.

It made me think of the Red Sox and those 1915 Hot Springs photos as well. This isn't from that group of photos, but I was hoping someone would recognize the field and/or a player. The number of players indicates college or majors. Some of the players are actually fat and look too old for college, so I'm hoping it ends up being a ML team that was practicing on a college field. Improbable, I know.

Here's the entire image - approx 7 x 9:

Scott- The photo you posted looks like it could be from Hot Springs, do you have info on it?

[Runscott]

No, I have no additional info on it. It is affixed to a piece of thick, old paper with no writing on the back of the darker paper. I might try to remove it and see if there is writing on the back, as the thumbtack holes indicate the backing paper isn't original.
