Published in the Philadelphia Record ca.1946, when she was hired as a baseball scout by the Philadelphia Phillies; copyright of the newspaper was not renewed for 1946; nor is there a copyright renewal for any photograph listed using the name Edith Houghton, or described as a woman playing baseball, or naming any of the teams she played on, on or before 1946. Renewal records were checked from 1950 to 1975. This image is therefore believed to be in the public domain in the U.S.A.
