This is a wonderful historical photo. Instant news communication has come a long way.
LOC — this was taken at New York’s Polo Grounds, not Philly’s Shibe Park. Compare the image with three others from the same place and time, posted earlier: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=telegraphers&w=8623220@N02
(It also says "Polo Grounds" on the left margin of the photo.)
OMG, rjones — you’re right; I hadn’t seen that! I guess the Society of Baseball Research is not infallible.
