Chehalis Proteges
The Grays Harbor County corridor had a thriving timber industry 100 or so years ago, and was a hotbed for baseball. So much so, that the professional Washington State League existed from 1910 to 1912.
This real photo postcard of Pearl Murray has long been one of my favorites images/postcards.
For reference, Chehalis, WA is about equidistant to Seattle and Portland, OR. Also of interest, Fielder Jones was player manager of the 1910 Chehalis Gophers, only four years removed from his famous Chicago White Sox "hitless wonders".
