Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>the 1910 Western League? Not an actual physical schedule, but I just need to find the dates of some games.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Dan- I have both 1910 Reach and 1910 Spalding Guides, and each has numerous schedules for various minor leagues. However, neither has the Western League.<br /><br />Is it possible the league had another name (I'm grasping straws here)?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Agreed, might there be another name?<br /><br />Barry- If you are "grasping straws" doesn't that mean you have them? Wouldn't it be "grasping for straws"?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>"Grasping for straws" is correct. I was a little too succinct.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Thanks for checking guys...Barry, it was the Western League...wonder why the 1910 guides wouldn't have it.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I was wondering too. There's a Texas League and about half a dozen other minor leagues...but no Western.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I'm trying to figure out if this is a Lincoln player...the postcard was postmarked from St Joe, Missouri and sent to KC. Since Lincoln and St Joe were both in the Western League in 1910 I think it's possible this is a Lincoln player and I would like to know if perhaps Lincoln was playing in St Joe on the day this postcard was postmarked. <br /><br /><img src="http://i17.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/f0/78/4c7f_1.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Close but no cigar....<br /><br />I have the 1911 schedule for the Western League, Dan, in my Facts for Fans booklet put out by the Hanley Brewing Co.<br /><br />It does have records though, for the Western League in 1910...but no schedule.<br /><br />Sorry I couldn't help.<br /><br />Greg

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Can't find a schedule for 1910, but my Reach Guide does have a chapter on the Western League including a composite photo of the Lincoln team. However, the picture quality is poor and I would not be able to do photo identification. Oh well.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Here's a better scan of the front....I just used the ebay auction picture up top.<br /><br /><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/?action=view&current=linc1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/linc1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />It's safe to say he's a pitcher (toe plate, pitching pose)

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>The picture in the Guide is simply too small and indistinct, and the players are wearing suits. Won't be able to help on this one.
