The title *Homers* is the main identifying detail here, and the Bain News Service caption information behind it is unverified, so the exact event and date remain uncertain. The word most likely refers to baseball, where the home run was a celebrated feat in the early twentieth century. George Grantham Bain ran his New York news photo agency from around the turn of the century, selling pictures of sports, politics and disasters to newspapers, and glass negatives like this one show the working method of that press operation.
