Posted By: <b>Doug Allen</b><p>I am attempting to identify players appearing on what appears to be an early world tour team. The obvious players are Evers, Carey, Vaughn and Daubert. I am guessing the year at about 1914/15. Does anyone have rosters from these early world tour teams?

Posted By: <b>benge610</b><p>Doug, sorry I can't provide factual rosters but I am aware of a tour consisting of White Sox and Giants players; December of '13 in Japan; February of '14 in Cairo, Rome and Paris; ending on Feb 26, '14 in England. Of course, in January of 1914 ML players w/10 years experience could become free agents; so it wouldn't be surprising to see some Feds on either of the Giants/Sox rosters for the tour.<BR><BR>This was the last world tour that I am aware of until well after the war (possibly '21 or '22 or so earliest).<BR><BR>I know it's not much, but a start. I'd be looking for obviously familiar faces (Chief Meyers, Ed Walsh, etc.) to see if my theory holds water.<BR><BR>Good luck and I would be interested in your findings.<BR><BR>Ben.<BR><BR>bengehler@avenew.com<BR>

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>The t206museum said on a previous post that they have access to it - maybe they would check for you. In going through my old issues, I found loads of detailed info about various ML player teams travelling the world. This was a big deal apparently.
