The record names a McNeely connected to baseball in Washington state, but the surname is the only identifier, so the player, team, and occasion are unconfirmed. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, the New York picture agency George Grantham Bain founded in the early 1900s to supply newspapers with news photographs. Sports were a steady part of its output because daily papers wanted fresh images of players and games. The plate is a glass negative, a format widely used for news work before roll film became standard, and its small size fits the 5 x 7 inch plates common in that period.
