Came across this searching for “chicago basketball 1911” – what’s notable to me is that most of the players have a ‘C’ on the uniform in the same style of the Chicago Cubs, but three have it styled like the C in the masthead of the Chicago Tribune.

There was also, (probably not directly related) what seems to be a fairly large flying race in spring 1912 in Chicago

The rings are obviously a confusion with Saturn. OTOH, in 1912 the question of canals on Mars was still being hotly debated by real astronomers. In the space of about a century, we went from ground-based telescopes that weren’t good enough to resolve the question and sending machinery to land on the surface and take a close look.Report
