Young women posing in and around a Studebaker automobile, bound for a baseball game, make this one of the more lighthearted scenes in the Bain collection. The "Motor Girls" label reflects a popular phrase of the early twentieth century, when women who drove their own cars drew press attention as a novelty. Studebaker, founded in South Bend, Indiana, was one of the largest American automakers of the period. George Grantham Bain's news service sold pictures like this to newspapers, and the title comes from caption cards that the record marks as unverified, so the exact occasion is uncertain.
