A young woman in a Princeton sweater stands at the center of this drawing, which sets it apart from the field-level action common to a baseball board. The sweater ties the figure to campus life, when college knitwear signaled school loyalty and, for some women, a rare chance to take part in organized sport. Women's baseball was far less common than the men's game in this period, so a drawing like this offers a glimpse of women claiming a place on the diamond. Louise Clarke's pen work gives the scene an immediacy worth studying up close.
