Vintage Baseball Cartoon Featuring Uncle Sam and C. F. Naughton - Duluth Evening Herald #1547142 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white political cartoon, signed by C. F. Naughton and published in the Duluth Evening Herald, shows a bespectacled man in a suit and top hat kneeling beside a tall wooden fence marked “BASEBALL GROUNDS,” holding a program labeled “BASE BALL PARK.” Uncle Sam stands atop the fence, observing with a skeptical expression, while a small caricatured figure comments below. The scene satirizes political deference or lobbying tied to public entertainment venues during the Progressive Era.
