Seattle - very interesting George Kelly PC. How do you come up with the 1914 date on the George Kelly / Tiny Leonard bald-head PC? I would love to learn about the back story on this.
The Kelly/Leonard postcard came from George Kelly's estate many years ago. That's Kelly's writing on the front. I suspect it is from 1914-1915 because those are the only years that Kelly and Leonard were in the same league (Northwestern), and also because I acquired the two 1914 NWL team postcards below from the Kelly estate at the same time. Kelly is in the Victoria card (with Jacinto Calvo!), and Leonard is pictured with the Portland Colts.
