Few teams from the Territory of Hawaii appear in the national news photo files of this era, which makes this 1910 group portrait of a Honolulu ball club unusual. The picture is a Bain News Service print from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a New York agency that sent news photographs to newspapers across the country. Baseball was a popular pastime in Honolulu in the early 1900s, and teams there played regularly against military and civilian clubs. The record does not name the players, so the image is best read as a snapshot of the sport's reach into the islands.
