And a really messed up story about a 45 year old pervert, Philip Kilfoil, impregnating a 14-year-old child, Lillian Palmer, who gave birth to a child, and many articles recounting the drama of Lillian's court testimony. Lillian and her mother Julia were both present. The description is so tragic.

To state, for the record: this depiction of a Native American is a horrible, racist image.
The text of the article to the left is curious - it features a commentary on the upcoming Braves-Athletics World Series from Giants pitcher Christy Matthewson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christy_Mathewson
This would be like Clayton Kershaw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Kershaw writing an opinion piece in the San Francisco Chronicle about how the Marlins will beat the Rangers. WUT??
Federal League and Pacific Coast League
If one zooms into the scores table, one can find a reference to the Federal League, a very short-lived league that competed to be a "third major league" in competition with the National and American Leagues, from 1913 to 1915. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_League
You can also find two references to the Pacific Coast League, a west coast league formed in 1902. Despite the fact that the Pacific Coast League was (according to Wikipedia) a double-A league, its game results and standings are listed alongside the "three" major leagues: the National League, the American League, and the Federal League.
Pomona Football
Don't miss the mention of the Pomona football team in the bottom left! High hopes! Stay tuned!
