Arrived postage due, but the address is pretty funky. Looks like it says something like:
Base Ball Mt.
Letter Carrier (?)
City
One of the fun things about many mailed PCs is that I have no idea how they ever got to their intended recipients.

Just catching up on this thread. When something was mailed within the limits of a town or city you could address it to city and it woud get to where it was intended. I have a number of Christmas cards from about 1948-51 mailed to an Olympic gold medalist. He lived in Cleveland and many of them have the street address and also say 'city'. If the town was small enough as I suspect Bridgeton, NJ was back then it would probably be very easy for the letter carrier to know where the baseball meeting was.
