They probably had one but I've never seen it anywhere. I know a lot of those pictures are old horner photos, that's how they mixed up Lucky Wright with Eugene Wright and Otto Krueger with Art Kruger, because they just went with pictures of who they thought was the player, they didn't have someone go there and take a pic then make a drawing. Like I said, if I find it I will let you know right away and I'd hope if anyone else found it, or knows of it already, they would do the same
