A baseball game near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914; possibly in Banks or Gales Creek. A runner appears to be rounding third base while the baseman watches. A boy (partially obscured by damage to the negative) sits in the foreground. The photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw, exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The other half of the glass plate was used to make another photograph of the same game; see image PUA_MS154_008b. Based on other images by Clapshaw of the same team, the runner in this image may have belonged to a team with initials "HT" (or "TH" if the image is reversed). Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. The light area in the center of the image may have been caused by an overexposure.
