No info. to add other than that there are pretty cool "Columbia Bicycles" and "Sweet Caporal Cigarettes" ads behind the players. |

You probably won't be able to identify these guys, but one interesting thing is the players look very old. A few guys in the back row look to be at least 40. |

Hey, Barry! If 40's is "very old" what does that make us? |

A 40 year old back then is like a 70 year old today. |

I think I touched a nerve. I can't even remember that far back... I meant old for ballplayers. |

The reason the average life expectancy was so low then, was because of all the infant deaths from disease, in those pre-penicillin/antibiotic days. When those deaths were averaged in, the average life expectancy naturally dropped. So it wasn't that adults necessarily died younger then, it was factoring in the infant mortality rate that made the average life expectancy figure low. |

Not completely true, Bob. At any age, a larger percentage of people died of infection, pneumonia, etc., than do so today. |

The reason for shorter life expectancy was multi-factorial. This would include lack of vaccination, poor understanding of healthy living, lack of antibiotics(as mentioned), lack of treatment for life threatening illness(i.e. chemo for cancer), LACK OF ANTISEPTIC TECHNIQUE, insufficient surgical standard, etc. The list is long. |

I don't think the man in the back row, second from left is John Titus. The man third from the left in the back row looks more like John Titus. I was going to attach a scan of my T206 John Titus, but I'm new to Net54 and don't know how to attach scans. I just set up a Photobucket account. Can anyone help me out? Thanks. Tim. |

The man third from the RIGHT in the back row looks more like John Titus (not 3rd from the left....my error). |

Up on the far right of the screen, on the front page, you will see a Network54 Archive Center. IF you click on that you will see a link for instructions on how to post scans. It's really very easy. If you have troubles just post here for help or shoot me an email and I will help you. Welcome to the forum too!! |

Columbia Bicycles had its headquarters in Boston during the 1890's. Maybe a Boston or Massachusetts town team? |

The ad to the left of the Sweet Cap sign appears to list an address at Commercial and Exchange Streets. The two cross in Worcester, MA. I'm strongly leaning towards a MA team. |

Leon.....I read the instructions for posting a scan. I'm unable to find the "insert object" referred to. It doesn't appear on my screen when I bring up the "respond to message" page. It can't be this difficult, can it? Maybe I'm missing something. Please help. Thank you, and thanks for the welcome. Tim. |

I think I can finally attach a scan of my John Titus. It appears he more resembles the man third form the right in the back row(not second from right). What do you think? |
