Collection of three baseball team photos dating from the early 1900s. 1) Cabinet photo capturing 12 members of the White Plains ball club. Includes nine uniformed players, all of whom are wearing quilted pants. The photographer's credit "Rosch White Plains N.Y.," appears in the lower right corner of the mount. Two handwritten notations on the reverse of the mount identify the year as 1903. The photo (9.25x7.5") displays moderate-to-heavy foxing and soiling. The mount (12x10") displays chipping along the borders. In Good to Very Good condition overall. 2) Cabinet photo capturing 10 members of the 1907 Wilber Base Ball Club. As noted by the lettering along the base, the Wilber club was the "Champion Amateur Team of Nebr." Each player is identified in print below the image. The photo (9.5x7.25") has what appears to be a light two-inch pencil mark  near the base and is otherwise in Near Mint condition. The mount (12.5x10") displays corner and edge chipping and is in Very Good condition. 3) Panoramic composite photo capturing 15 members of the 1914 Emporia Team of the Kansas State League. The player images are all superimposed against the background of a baseball field. The photo (13.5x8") is trimmed along all four borders and affixed to a cardboard mount (16x10.5"); otherwise it is in Very Good to Excellent condition.
