The record gives only the surname "Cicotte," which most likely refers to Eddie Cicotte, the Chicago White Sox pitcher. Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied press pictures of athletes and public figures to newspapers, and its glass negatives were often made quickly for publication. The caption data is unverified, so the exact date is uncertain. Cicotte later became one of the central figures in the 1919 Black Sox scandal, which gives his name added weight for anyone studying the era.
