Ralph, maybe you miss my point about Gordon. He'd been in the league since 1903, managing and playing. The one season that he isn't playing (an injury maybe?) the league president designates him as an alternate umpire for the league. Seems to me he must have been fairly well thought of in Texas League circles. I was not belittling his batting average, that's better than I hit in the minors. I think Gordon had a significant role in baseball in Texas when the red border set was released.

And Joe, I'm believing your baseball box idea. At first I thought the box a bit rectangular, but it does look consistent with a cube, and it is the size of a baseball box.
