10 1/4" x 6 1/4" double-sided scorecard produced by the Chicago Herald-American newspaper for a June 26, 1948 doubleheader exhibition to raise for the newspaper's Benefit Fund. Proceeds from the exhibition, hosted at Wrigley Field, were used in part to benefit convalescent American servicemen and women. The doubleheader consisted of an Old Timers game full of former major leaguers, followed by an all-star high school game that matched city and suburban players against one another. The Old Timers game included players like Rogers Hornsby, Dave Bancroft, Freddie Lindstrom, Max Carey, Jim Thorpe, Gabby Hartnett, Ray Schalk and Red Faber. Scorecard shows game scores written in pencil, displaying well with some age-related discoloration along the right edge, with a crease at the center where the piece was folded long ago. Aside from the condition issues, a very interesting piece containing a number of important names.
