A young woman wearing a hat sits at the table on which he is signing papers. Several other Cubs players are standing in the background. In the exhibition game the Chicago Cubs played the Kerrigan Tailors, a semi-professional team from Marion, Ohio, hometown of Warren G. Harding (1865-1923), then the Republican presidential candidate. Organized by supporters of Harding's campaign, the game was intended to create a favorable impression of the candidate as a man who enjoyed the national pastime.
