Part of the Cubs' Tinker to Evers to Chance double play combination. Ogden Nash commented poetically on his jutting jaw: Line-Up for Yesterday E is for Evers, His jaw in advance; Never afraid to Tinker with Chance. — Ogden Nash, Sport magazine (January 1949) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Evers

Any reason LOC is not using the original caption where accurate? In this case, you are omitting key info.

@artolog: The SABR project focused on naming players and teams, using a stock pattern to devise for titles that replaced the severely abbreviated words scratched on the negatives. The words on the negatives were retained in the notes area. In this case, though, you're right. This negative has a full-blown title that identifies the scene well. We'll exchange the titles and subject notes. -- Helena

Another Bain 1914 World Series photo of Evers and Plank:

Evers was the National League MVP (then knows as the Chalmers Award) in 1914. His counterpart in the American League, Eddie Collins, played for the Athletics in the Series that year. www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1914.shtml#NLmvp
