The title points to a college contest rather than a professional club, with Harvard and Yale meeting in one of the most closely watched rivalries of the late nineteenth century. Harvard's location in Cambridge, just outside Boston, explains why the picture belongs with the city's baseball material. Intercollegiate games like this drew large crowds and steady newspaper attention, and illustrated weeklies often reproduced such scenes to satisfy public interest. The clothing, grounds and spectator arrangements look quite different from a modern ballpark, which makes the picture useful for seeing how early college sports were staged.
