Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>Andy,<br /><br /> A few months back the board helped me come up with a list of sets that contain cards featuring Toronto as a minor league team. Since then I have been building by-team checklists of those sets to help figure out which players are represented with Toronto (and to ultimately decide if I'm going to extend my pre-1920 Toronto collection to include those years). One of the sets included in that list was '36 WWG.<br /><br />Here is a list of everything I've found out so far. Note that I am also listing the major league teams to help rule out cards...If anyone notices any errors or has anything to add (note: I already added your info Andy!), please do!<br /><br />Andy, if you would be so kind to email me any new info (or post it here), I would greatly appreciate it!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Richard.<br /><br />1JIMMY DYKESChicago White Sox<br />2PAUL WANER<br />3CY BLANTONPittsburg Pirates<br />4SAM LESLIENew York Giants<br />5JOHNNY LOUIS VERGEZPhiladelphia Athletics<br />6ARKY VAUGHAN<br />7BILL TERRYNew York Giants<br />8JOE MOORE<br />9GUS MANCUSONew York Giants<br />10FRED MARBERRYNew York Giants<br />11GEORGE SELKIRK<br />12SPUD DAVISSt. Louis Cardinals<br />13CHUCK KLEINChicago Cubs<br />14FRED FITZSIMMONS<br />15BILL DELANCEYSt. Louis Cardinals<br />16BILLY HERMAN<br />17GEORGE DAVISNew York Giants<br />18RIP COLLINS<br />19DIZZY DEAN<br />20ROY PARMELEE<br />21VIC SORRELLDetroit Tigers<br />22HARRY DANNING<br />23HAL SCHUMACHER<br />24CY PERKINS<br />25SPEEDY DUROCHER<br />26GLENN MYATT<br />27BOB SEEDSBears?<br />28JIMMY RIPPLENew York Giants<br />29AL SCHACHT<br />30PETE FOX<br />31DEL BAKER<br />32FLEA CLIFTON<br />33TOMMY BRIDGES<br />34BILL DICKEYNew York Yankees<br />35WALLY BERGER<br />36SLICK CASTLEMAN<br />37DICK BARTELL<br />38RED ROLFE<br />39WAITE HOYT<br />40WES FERRELLBoston Red Sox<br />41HANK GREENBERG<br />42CHARLIE GEHRINGERDetroit Tigers<br />43GOOSE GOSLIN<br />44SCHOOLBOY ROWE<br />45MICKEY COCHRANE<br />46JOE CRONINBoston Red Sox<br />47JIMMY FOXX<br />48JERRY WALKER<br />49CHARLIE GELBERT<br />50ROY HAYWORTHDetroit Tigers<br />51JOE DiMAGGIONew York Yankees<br />52BILLY ROGELL<br />53JOE McCARTHY<br />54PHIL CAVARETTAChicago Cubs<br />55KIKI CUYLERCincinnati Reds<br />56LEFTY GOMEZ<br />57GABBY HARTNETT<br />58JOHNNY MARCUMBoston Red Sox<br />59BURGESS WHITEHEADNew York Giants<br />60WHITEY WHITEHILL<br />61BUCKEY WALTERSPhiladelphia Phillies<br />62LUKE SEWELL<br />63JOEY KUHEL<br />64LOU FINNEY<br />65FRED LINDSTROM<br />66PAUL DERRINGERCincinnati Reds<br />67STEVE O'NEILCleveland Indians<br />68MULE HAASChicago White Sox<br />69FRECK OWEN<br />70WILD BILL HALLAHANCincinnati Reds<br />71BILL URBANSKI<br />72DAN TAYLOR<br />73HEINIE MANUSHBoston Red Sox<br />74JO JO WHITE<br />75MICKEY MEDWICK (DUCKY)<br />76JOE VOSMIK<br />77AL SIMMONS<br />78SHAG SHAUGNESSYPRESIDENT<br />79HARRY SMYTHEMontreal Royals<br />80BENNY TATEMontreal Royals<br />81BILLY RHIELMontreal Royals<br />82LAURI MYLLYKANGAS<br />83BEN SANKEYMontreal Royals<br />84CRIP POLIMontreal Royals<br />85JIM BOTTOMLEY<br />86WILLIAM W.

Posted By: <b>Mark Evans</b><p>The bio on the back of Weintraub's card places him with the Rochester Red Wings, although his photo shows him as a New York Giant, the team he played for the prior year (1935). Mark

Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>Thanks Mark.<br /><br />If Memory serves, 119 of Tom Oliver is similar. He's listed with Toronto on the back but pictured with Baltimore on the front. I think it was Tom Oliver.<br /><br />Richard.

Posted By: <b>Andy Cook</b><p>Thanks for the contributions. I'll keep a running checklist by team for this set. Can anyone help fill in some of the blanks for what teams the players are shown on?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Andy

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>I have (or have had) all the autographs in this set (including minor leaguers) with the exception of minor leagures Bates and Hensick. I'm trying to recall in which Ontario town this set was produced (I know that the same company manufactured the Canadian versions of the 33-34 Goudey sets). Was it Hamilton, ON? Or was it Montreal, QC? I remember collecting these as a kid. I may have a dozen in a cigar box somewhere in my parents' house.

Posted By: <b>Misunderestimated (Brian H.)</b><p>Andy -<br />#124 of Roy Schalk {SIC!} is HOFer Ray Schalk (which is correct on the back) as the Manager of the Buffalo Minor League Club. Also, #120 Norman Kies is with Montreal. <br /><br />I may have some other additions later. ....

Posted By: <b>Bill Todd</b><p>Andy,<br /><br />I just received a Cliff Bolton (#133) in the mail. (Thanks, Kevin!) The back says that he's with the Washington Senators, not Albany. There's no logo on his uni or hat, but he caught 86 games for Washington in 1936, and 110 the year before, so it's not likely that he was down on the farm in '36.<br /><br />I love that Bolton "attributes "much of his success to the fatherly counsel of Daniel Boone."<br /><br />And to answer Jodi's question, it's "World Wide Gum Co. Ltd. Granby, Que."--about 50 miles east of Montreal.<br /><br />Bill
