Sadly, I don't have either source information or a larger version of that photo. I was able to locate mention of George Batten breaking his leg during a game in Cape May, NJ in July 1913, but nothing before or after, other than the aforementioned report of his one-game ML stint...and no photo accompanying the broken leg story.
