Black and white photograph in two pieces (A & B) attached via clear (now yellowed) tape. Photo depicts six Oakland Oaks baseball players in full uniform. Uniforms are white and have an oak leaf insignia reading "OAKS" on the front. Caps have the "O" insignia. Players are all holding bats over their shoulders and are looking to their left with serious expressions on their faces. They are standing on a grass field. Captions affixed to back of photo read: "The six players pictured above are all newcomers to the force of regulars on the Oakland ball club. Several are touted as being exceptionally able hitters. Pictured are (left to right): Frank Volpi, catcher; Cecil Dunn, first base; Lloyd Christopher, center field; Charley Bates, first base; Dan Escobar and Pete Chapman, outfielders. In his first appearance in a league game Escobar delivered a pinch hit last Tuesday, starting the ninth inning rally that enabled Oakland to beat the Seals.--Tribune photo" and "Cecil "Dynamite" Dunn, Oakland first baseman, who won last night's game in the 13th inning with a hit against the left field fence. Dunn is leading the local club for season in runs batted in.--Tribune photo." Photo has been touched up for reproduction purposes and there are white painted cropping registration marks around Cecil Dunn's image. "2 COLS" has been handwritten in black beneath these marks.
