Hi, I'm an admin for a group called West Point U.S.M.A., and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Major General Thomas Henry Barry, Superintendant of West Point and Admiral Togo, Japanese Naval hero. Ny Times article: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E0DEFDF123AE633A...

Here is wikipedia article about Admiral Togo, ("the Nelson of the East") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_Togo

Same event as this one. August 15, 1911.

wow...........love these old photos.........thanks for making them available on Flickr. Robert L. Huffstutter

These look like early Peerless automobiles, ca. 1909. The underlined name in handwritten script is just visible on the hubcaps of both vehicles and on a maker's plate on the chassis of the leading car (just behind the acetylene generator on the running board).

@technogeo: Good eyes!

Thanks, Rob! They're beautiful cars. Gigantic acetylene headlights, smooth tread tires in front, patterned tread in the rear. The rear tires don't match on the car in the foreground (lic. plate no. 41475). You can seem them in the other photo. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163533044/ It's not what you'd expect on an expensive car used to chauffeur dignitaries around New York. I bet Togo noticed.

except, that is homeplate

And a bad call if the ball is in the fieders hand.He is out.

jjcole2343: We agree. The new title incorporates observations from several comments. Thank you!

Close inspection seems to indicate that the man tagging the runner was not in the original photograph. Notice the shadow seems to be added in and not even connected to the person. Also, his eyes are not looking at the runner.
