.This appears to be Walter Johnson warming up before an exhibition contest while wearing a Washington sweater which would date this to post-1907. First baseball footage dates to 1898:https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=tHT-BZmTKjk …
Thanks. Which makes it interesting to see him warming up next to Johnson. Spring training in Hot Springs, 1911?

Cubs were there 1909-10, Senators never ... if it's spring rather than postseason. But *maybe* the sweater Johnson is wearing is from his Weiser, Idaho days (1906-1907)?pic.twitter.com/dSzM9E9tTD

There's a story here about Johnson training there in 1911, & there being enough players to organize an ad hoc all-star game http://www.hotspringsbaseballtrail.com/untold-stories/hot-springs-where-pitchers-became-legends/ …
