What you’re looking at

This page features a horseshoe-shaped arrangement of portrait photographs titled "A Noted Starter and Some Well-Known Jockeys." The central, larger portrait is identified as Ferguson (likely a horse racing starter), surrounded by eight smaller circular portraits of jockeys labeled James B. Ferguson, T. Sloan, Taral, C. Sloan, Griffin, Hinrichs, Chevallier, and Jones. The satirical title "Knights of the Pigskin" appears to mock these racing figures, though the specific joke is unclear without additional context. The horseshoe framing suggests the racing theme. This appears to be from an era when horse racing was prominent American entertainment, and *The Wasp* was satirizing notable figures in that industry, though the particular criticism intended remains ambiguous.
