4 1/2" x 7 3/4" advertising broadside/handbill, promoting a Labor Day baseball game between the Highlands of Haverhill and Boston Clothing Company teams.  Some minor wear is evident at the edges, with a tiny bit of paper loss at the bottom left edge.  A small stray mark is evident at the lower left edge, the year "1888?" written lightly in pencil at the lower right. Pencil writing on the reverse appears to be someone's addition of various figures.  The handbill once belonged in the collection of Frank Steele, of Perez-Steele Galleries. Letter of provenance from original sale from Peggy Steele.
