The title "Evers, Boston" points to a man named Evers photographed in Boston, and the record notes that this identification is unverified. The most likely candidate is Johnny Evers, the Chicago Cubs second baseman who was part of the famous Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance double play and who later played for the Boston Braves. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion is unknown. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a news photography service that sold images to newspapers, which is typical of the early twentieth-century press work in the collection.
