1920 Silver gelatin photograph of Walter Mails, star pitcher for the World Champion Cleveland Indians seen wearing the black arm band the team wore after shortstop Ray Chapman was killed. This uniform places this absolutely during the end of the World Championship 1920 season and it carries a file date from September on the back! The photo looks great but has some pinholes at the left corners from editorial use in a newspaper.
