I purchased this calendar yesterday and was wondering if it might be possible to identify the African American player depicted in the photo. The team is from Honesdale PA. Cannot tell if this is a high school or semi pro team. Not many integrrated teams around 1902, so wanted to see if any type of ID could be made of the gentleman in question.

Thanks for any help at all.

Very cool calendar. Looks like all at least college age. That looks like a Lafayette uniform second row. R. Milton Salmon played baseball for Lafayette and graduated in 1902.

Probably already know this, but you just missed Mathewson by a few years.
