They used a logo like that. You really would have to match the names up, but one would think any team with two guys nicknamed Dummy should be pretty distinctive.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Bob Pomilla</b><p>According to the photo, the team manager was a "Dr. Preston". The Skeeter team manager in 1902 was a Billy Murray.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/milb/history/top100.jsp?idx=7" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/milb/history/top100.jsp?idx=7</a>

Posted By: <b>edacra</b><p>The photo pre-dates the 1902 printing.<br /><br />(so it's possible Bill Murray was still on Second City at the time, and Dr. Preston was still in practice.)<br /><br />
