1914-16 Milwaukee Brewers Photo (ID Help needed)

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Bought an Imperial Sized Milwaukee Brewers cabinet recently, photo by E. Hindman ("Commercial Photographer, Milwaukee) on the mount. Many of the players are very recognizable, and I immediately ID'ed Tom Jones sitting in the middle, and I believe "Jap" Barbeau sitting on far right side, also the guy third from right kinda looks like Germany Schaefer but can't find solid record of him with Milwaukee. I haven't done too much research but hoping someone can help. I'm thinking it isn't from 1914 as Hap Felsch was on the team and I don't see him in the photo. I was only able to scan the picture portion of the photo as it is much bigger than my scanner.<br /> <br />Any help would be appreciated.<br />-Rhett<br /><br />Here is photo (Hope it isn't too big):<br /><img src="http://www.starsofthediamond.com/team96.JPG"><br /><br />Here is blown up left side:<br /><img src="http://www.starsofthediamond.com/left150.JPG"><br /><br />Here is blown up right side:<br /><img src="http://www.starsofthediamond.com/right150.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Looking at the picture while I am here at work, I believe the guy standing second from right might be Irv Young. Anybody else have any thoughts? I have access to many Spalding Guides but unfortunately not to the guide from 1916 (which would have the team from 1915, which is when I suspect this photo is from). Also the Spalding Guides have American Association and Eastern/International League rosters in the "Official Roster" sections, so anybody with a 1916 Spalding Guide would be of great help. I am thinking 1915 because Barbeau started with Milwaukee in 1914, but since I don't see Felsch I think it may be the next year (Felsch was essentially the top prospect in baseball after his 1914 Milwaukee season, and was in the majors the next year).<br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>John E</b><p>The team is from 1913<br /><br />Front row left to right...<br />Ralph Cutting (p), Larry Chappelle (of), Joe Hovlik (p), Woozey (the goat)<br /><br />Center<br />Larry Gilbert (of), Buster Braun (p), Cy Slapnicka (p), Tom Jones (1b), Harry Clark (3b/mgr), Tom Dougherty (p), Joe Berg (if), William Marshall (c)<br /><br />Back<br />Jimmy Block (c), Rube Nicholson (p), Newt Randall (of, also of T206 fame), Johnny Hughes (c), Phil Lewis (2b), Doc Watson (p)<br /><br />Hap Felsch and Lena Blackbourne were also on the team but are not pictured.<br /><br />This was the team that won the first American Association championship for Milwaukee.<br /><br />Woozey was a gift from the Milwaukee Journal. He served as the unofficial groundskeeper when the Brewers were on the road. Also, he was kept in a pen above the press box which apparently caused quite a stench.<br /><br />Great piece!<br /><br />If you ever decide to part with it , keep me in mind.<br /><br />(My avatar is Aw-gust, the old Milwaukee Brewers mascot)<br /><br /><img src="http://home.wi.rr.com/jevintage/brewerspennant.jpg"><br /><img src="http://home.wi.rr.com/jevintage/1913brewers.jpg"><br /><img src="http://home.wi.rr.com/jevintage/clark1.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dennis</b><p> It looks like the question has been answered. I will submit this cabinet photo to share info on the 1915 team. Photographer is Bonnie Brown of Milwaukee. It seemed, for a moment, that there was a slight resemblance to the player 3rd from left in the back row.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Check me if I'm wrong here Dennis, but your cabinet photo seems to show a player from 1895 and not 1915.

Posted By: <b>John E</b><p>I believe Dan is right. The only reference I could find at the moment was the he was on the '95 team and played left field.
