My initial thought was also that it might be Alfred Lawson, the former player etc, but his middle name began with a W, not a J, as it appears to be in a receipt below. It certainly could be the ballplayer Lawson, but I am not sure. Lawson was a very interesting person, player, manager, aviator, sailor, baseball game designer, and it was his famous sign on the scoreboard at Fenway Park during the 1912 World Series. If it is that Lawson, it might explain the "nuff ced" near his name, as he was a friend of nuff ced Mcgreevey. I hope it is the ballplayer, there must be some autographs around to compare.
