The title pits the Wausau club against Aurora, and the panoramic format suggests the photographer wanted to capture the whole field of players, and perhaps the crowd, in a single wide frame. Small-town ball clubs like these drew heavy local followings in 1912, when a game between neighboring towns was a major social event and often a point of civic pride. Panoramic exposures from this period were usually made with special swinging-lens or large-format cameras, so the result is a rare, sweeping record of how these games were staged and watched.
