Fox is dressed in a Chicago White Sox road uniform whereas Bridges is dressed in the Washington Senators home uniform. The first caption on the back of the photograph (not shown) states, "Chewing Champs- Nellie Fox (left), White Sox second baseman, and Rocky Bridges, Senators' shortstop, compare chewing techniques before yesterday's game."
