Ethel Jaynes stands center field, 1950s

Ethel Jaynes, a Coralville student, stands facing away from the camera at the baseball game in front of her. Her left hand fitted into a glove and her right hand pushing back her hair, she waits for the ball to be hit where she stands in the center outfield. The rest of the players - all boys - can be seen running a play in the infield.

According to Tim Walch, the petroleum storage containers seen in the distance were owned at the time by Williams Brothers Pipe Line Company (Walch, p. 91).
