White lines represent the approximate location of the diamond, with the plate at lower right. Dodger players took positions on the diamond, but were quickly swarmed over by autograph seekers. The Dodgers hope the field will be finished in 1960. / Associated Press Photo" -- typed note attached to verso. Verso dated, "September 19, 1959".
