Further reduction.
Some beautiful stuff worth framing, including two front pages, featuring Ewing in catching gear, and a classic batting pose.

There are four non-Harper's:

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 23, 1885, p.221: "... Sketches at the Polo Grounds during the League Championship Game between the New York and Detroit Clubs ..." These are six detailed sketches from the stands of fans, including a policeman chasing boys on a fence, with more boys on a tree behind it.
