The photo I won off of ebay. As for the game I know Johnson made a few trips back to Kansas for exhibition games. I have rppcs from a game in Humboldt and also probably from this same game in Coffeyville. I strongly believe that William Jennings Bryan is standing between Cheney and Johnson. At the Coffeyville museum they have 4-5 postcards from this game. Larry Cheney and Ad Brennan were from Kansas like Johnson. Not sure why the games were held other than to celebrate the players. Here's a few of the rppcs I was talking about. They also had a loving cup at the museum that was presented to Johnson full of silver dollars given by the crowd. Seems like that cup was much bigger than the one in the photo. Looks like I need to make another trip to Coffeyville.

Thanks Dan, I need to do some more research and I will get back with you on that.
