Christy Mathewson and Chief Bender are the opposing pitchers depicted in this postcard for the first game of the 1911 World Series at the Polo Grounds in New York.

This is a lithographic rather than photographic postcard. It is credited to Underwood & Underwood, but these are likely Howard Kingsmore images.
