Mount Morris Photograph
 

I was wondering if anybody here picked this photograph up last night on ebay? I'm curious about the location of the team. Thanks.

Gary,
I did not bid on it, but I liked the image. It looked to be earlier than the date on the back, no mask, early belt etc. anyway, hope you find out something, I actually thought you were going to go for it. Let us know.

Bruce- I wanted to make this Mount Morris NY, but couldn't given the lack of a state designation on the handwriting on the reverse and the lack of a photographer's ID. I'm hoping the winning bidder can give me some further information. There are four Mount Morris towns that I know of, NY, PA, MI, Il.
There is/was also a Mount Morris neighborhood in NYC, I believe. Here's the reverse.

Might be a reference to Mt Morris Park, now known as Marcus Garvey Park, in Manhattan

That's one of the possibilities. I hoping someone will be able to ID a player or players.

While his shirt seems to say "stub" (I am not sure why - any ideas?), I choose to read it as "stud".

"STUB" or "STUD" is virtually the only clue. There appears to be something written on the "box" in the center near the bats, but I can't make it out.

Here's a bit of an enlarged, cleaned up image, if it helps in the hunt...

So messing around with the back, you can see this.

I didn't notice that ghost image. Great catch!

Mount Morris, Michigan, maybe?

Google up historical societies for various Mt Morris towns, then call them or email them a scan of that... One of them may have such a photo, or want the scan, or have a file... and you might learn what Stuh or Stub is...
