Panoramic photograph of both teams, with the names of each player in the negative, taken by Harold Stott, Philadelphia. Approx. 8 x 35 inches. An extraordinarily rare image of the second Colored World Series. Taken in the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia prior to Game 5 of the series, a rematch of the 1924 first World Series featuring the Kansas City Monarchs, Champions of the Negro National League, and the Hilldale Club, the Eastern Colored Champions, the panoramic photograph depicts 18 members of the Hilldale team and 15 Kansas City Monarch players, with four league executives in the center. Included on the Hilldale team (sometimes known as the Darby Daisies) are Hall of fame catcher Biz Mackey, Hall of Fame third basemen "Judy" Johnson, player/manger Francis Warfield, Hall of Fame slugger Louis Santop, and southpaw ace "Nip" Winters. Notable players on the Monarchs included pitcher/manger Jose Mendez, and second basemen Newt Allen; not pictured on the Monarchs was their ace Hall of Famer Bullet Rogan, who injured himself prior to the series. Between the two teams in the center of the image stands Andrew "Rube" Foster, the founder of the Negro National League and the "Father of the Negro Leagues." Hilldale would redeem their loss in the first world series, wining this one 5-1. The last example of this photograph we could locate on the market appeared in the sale of the collection of Jeff Eastland, selling at Robert Edwards Auctions in their Spring 2004 sale for $13,800, said at the time to be one of two known copies.
