James John "Gentleman Jim" Corbett (September 1, 1866 – February 18, 1933) was a heavyweight boxing champion, best known as the man who defeated the great John L. Sullivan. He also coached boxing at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. He stood at 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), with a reach of 73 inches (190 cm). Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Corbett
Wystan said:
Mrs. Marquard was Blossom Seeley, the wife of Rube Marquard, a popular player for the N. Y. Giants. A New York Times story from two years earlier (October 11,1911) places Rube Marquard and Corbett together at a glittering affair: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A01E1D61531E233A...

This is a wonderful historical photo. Instant news communication has come a long way.
Wystan said:
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: 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.
