The caption on this glass negative points to the National Baseball Commission, a three-member body formed in 1903 to settle disputes between the American and National leagues and oversee professional baseball until the office of commissioner was created in 1920. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied pictures like this one to newspapers across the country, so the image was likely made for a news story about the sport's governing affairs. The date is not recorded, and the title comes from information the agency wrote on the negative or its caption card, which has not been independently verified, so the exact occasion remains uncertain.
