    According to a Wikipedia article at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissioner_of_Baseball : "The National Commission was the ruling body of professional baseball starting with the National Agreement of 1903, which made peace between the National League and the American League (see History of baseball in the United States). It consisted of three members: the two League presidents and a Commission chairman, whose primary responsibilities were to preside at meetings and to mediate disputes." The Commission's only chairman was August Herrmann, who resigned after the 1919 scandal: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E02E6DA153EE433A...
  • cjonthehudson said:
    August Herrmann is seated to the right of the lady, who is likely Helene Britton, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Yes, that's Helene Britton; there's another pic of her wearing that same outfit in this series (looks like the same room, too): www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2448659619/

The commissioners in 1913 were: August "Garry" Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnati Reds (president), American League president B. Bancroft "Ban" Johnson, and National League president Thomas J. Lynch.

  • Wystan said:
    LOC -- your date in brackets below the photo [1912] is incorrect. The negative bears the date 1913.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan, The [1912] date does appear to be incorrect, and not just because of the date on the negative! Mr. Flanner on the far right is reading a 1913 souvenir score book issued by the Athletics for the World Series, so that further confirms the date. The full date is likely 10/8/13 despite the 10/9/13 on the negative. Game 2 of the 1913 World Series took place at Shibe Park in Philadelphia on Oct. 8, while Game 3 took place the next day in Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds. Thanks for the heads up!
