The title names two golfers, McLeod and Vardon, which points to a pairing of prominent players. Harry Vardon, the Jersey-born golfer who won the Open Championship six times, toured the United States in 1900 and 1913, when his exhibitions drew large crowds. The record gives no date, and the title is unverified, so the exact occasion is uncertain. The Bain News Service, which made the negative, photographed sporting and news events for newspapers, often in New York.
