1911/12 Chicago White Sox ID

[Leon]

With this real photo postcard there was a note that these are the 1911-1912 Chicago White Sox in Waco Texas for Spring Training, at a hotel in Stephenville, TX. lt says it has "pappa Marty Berghammer" in it on a sticker affixed to the holder it came in. Any help with any of the ID's of these players will be most appreciated!! Thanks

pretty

in hopes of only mild ridicule from the experts, please allow an un-authoritative guess or three:

Top row far left: Marty Berghammer
Top row 4th from left (middle): Flame Delhi
sitting in front of Delhi (looking away from camera); Ping Bodie
sitting far left: Harry Lord

sitting, second from left looks like Blackburn,
and I think the bottom right is Bruno Block, but I could be wrong.
I'd make a terrible identification witness.

I love this site.

The photo RUKen posted is actually my postcard that I had posted in another thread. Glad to know there are at least two copies and they are both so close to home!

Love these old postcard(s)! If you've ever read G.H. Fleming's "The Unforgettable Season" you can kind of get a feel for playing Spring Training baseball in Texas during this era ... albeit from the standpoint of the New York Giants in 1908. But still ... kind of makes our pre-war cards come alive :-) Love the bike in the foreground. Looks like it would crumble into pieces if any kid tried to sit on it :-) Thanks for sharing!

Love them too. The bike is a tricycle which is sort of neat.. Here is another postcard of the White Sox in the same year, at an Exhibition game...with a nice inscription on it, cancelled

That was probably my source. I forgot to add "I don't own this"; 'sorry about that.
