What, no name? I need something for the commemorative plaque. 1930 is by far my favorite year for the New York Telegram, but even more impressive than its thorough reporting is the distinct lack of any typos or grammatical errors. None! For the entire year! Now that I've seen the face of the man responsible for such a feat, he must be honored!
Seriously though, one of the few things that I enjoy more than a strictly on-topic thread is an obscure tangential reference. You are excused for your interruption.
But lest we stray too far from the topic at hand, here is a shot of photographer Herman Seid shaking hands with Luke Sewell. Seid was trained at The Cleveland Press by Louis Van Oeyen and remained there as Van Oeyen's successor, covering sports for The Press through about the mid-1950's. He also started the photography department at the Memphis Commercial Appeal, which hits a little closer to home for this reporter.
