Default Maybe this one belongs in the other category...

...but I thought I'd post my other Walter Johnson here since I bought it from the same guy - a Type I News Photo on ultra thick cardboard stock and well marked up editorially. I worked in the newpaper darkroom fieldfor many years as a teenager in the 80's and through college, so I understand the "1 Column" notation, but have no idea what "Can. Bull" means before Johnson. Any ideas?

There is a later (1940's probably as it mentions Allie Reynolds) copy of an article pasted on the back that I hate to remove to see if there is an earlier date on it, but with my experience with photos, I'm positive this is a Type 1 from Walt's playing days, albeit later than the c1910 date of the notebook.

But I'm not skilled at dating by uniform like many of you. I definitely need to pick up that reference book you all are referring to - perfect or not, the sample pages shown were incredibly fascinating.

So anyway, here's the other Walter piece I got for under $25 from the same seller:
