I recently purchased a photo album from Japan that contained photographs taken in 1912 in Boston.

Original photos from the 1912 World Series are scarce. Yours appear to be snapshots, but of good quality. I'm guessing that's Smokey Joe Wood warming up beside the crowd. |

The top-right picture looks like Joe Wood. In the picture below that, the Giant player walking between the two Red Sox players looks like Fred Merkle. Then, in the picture below that, the player standing in the middle of the group of three to the right (in the long black sweater), looks like Christy Mathewson. |

In ways, it's more interesting to see the players in casual, warming up situations. We all know what a player swinging at the first pitch looks like. |

Perhaps the most interesting picture to me is the one on the bottom left. If you notice, both the batter and catcher are NY Giants. It must have been taken during batting practice. |

In the last game, Mathewson pitched a complete game and Wood pitched 3 inning in relief. |

the photos with notations may have come from Game 3. Note that they all have a roman numeral III. Also note that one photo references Snodgrass batting with the bases loaded. He only came to bat in that situation once during the 1912 World Series--the 5th inning of Game 3 (flied to left for final out). Incidentally, the last Sox pitcher for Game 3 was none other than Hugh Bedient--he who only appeared on one card I believe J=K Candy. |

These are some great pictures, as stated above pictures most likely snapshots taken by someone in the stands or someone that had access to the field. The size and pictures displayed are similar to what you see in scrap books and photo books. |

Please go ahead and download copies if you would like. I am not sure if III meant game 3 or that this was the third World Series the Red Sox played in. I have received some emails asking if I will part with the photos or the entire album. I just received the album and would like some more time to study and enjoy it. Thank you for all the help so far. |

Here is an excerpt from the October 11, 1912 New York Times which tells that Speaker was awarded an automobile for being the best player in the AL before game 3. (Doyle just went along for the ride). |
