More Bain/LOC shots of Washington Park, March 12, 1913:

From Wikipedia: The Brooklyn Tip-Tops were a team in the short-lived Federal League of professional baseball from 1914 to 1915. The team was named by owner Robert Ward, who owned the Tip Top Bakery. They were sometimes called the Brooklyn Feds due to being the Brooklyn team of the Federal League. The Tip Tops played in old Washington Park, which the Brooklyn Dodgers had abandoned after the 1912 season to move to Ebbets Field. From Baseball Encyclopedia.com: "With Harry Sinclair, Ward was one of the main backers of the Federal League. As owner of the Brooklyn franchise, he poured more than a million dollars into the cause. He offered to share any team profits with his players, but there was never anything to share. A month after Ward died, the league also succumbed. (NLM) "

Wystan, Thanks for the additional contextual information for Mr. Ward. We will expand the description when we update.

Magee wasn't the manager. He was only 25/26 years old during the 1915 season.

That would not have made him the youngest manager in baseball history. I believe Bucky Harris was 24 when he led the Washington Senators to a world championship in 1924. I stand corrected. Harris was 27.

Magee was born in 1889, which would have made a young-looking 35/36 at the time and, yes, he was the manager for part of that season..

11 plus 15 = 26.

Looks like was a player/manager for most of the season (118 games), with 35 games managed by John Ganzel. www.baseball-reference.com/managers/mageele01.shtml www.baseball-reference.com/managers/ganzejo01.shtml I've edited his Wikipedia entry to make this clearer.
