1915 Chicago Whales print
I got really lucky yesterday and picked up this 1915 Chicago Whales team composite print from a local antiques dealer. The frame has been replaced and it has some pin holes in the corners, a few small tears at the edges, and a couple light stains. I haven't been able to find another one so far in my research.

Whales print
Thanks Peter. It's nice to know there's still great stuff out there. Carlton, I don't have it with me right now, but I believe it's about 30" wide. I'll check later for exact measurements.

The March 27, 1915, issue of Sporting Life indicates that Guy Beard and Roy Ashenfelder had been signed by the team and were joining the Whales in spring training. The April 17 issue indicates that they both had been released; neither appeared in a Federal League game with Chicago in 1914 or 1915 but both are in the composite. This image must date from spring training of 1915.

Super piece, Matt. That would be the star of any Federal League thread.
