Looks like probably a barnstorming or all star type game filled with players from the Nebraska State League and the Western League in 1912. The player third from right with the antelope on his uniform is a Lincoln player. Lincoln played their home games at Antelope Park. Too bad he is looking down or I may have been able to identify him. Ty Cobb's brother Paul played on that 1912 team.

Rick, here is the companion piece to your Walk-Overs team shot. Nice to see the 1909 postmark on yours. Looks like different uniforms, but the same backdrop.

As you may know Jim, this postcard image was used in the famous “Glory of Their Times” book by Ritter.

The bats and glove could just be props - notice the extra set of cleats in front of Ed.

Couple of Yankee Stadium postcards that I picked up a few months ago.

Thank you Dan, that was the uniform I couldnt really pinpoint.
