Default 1919 scorecard celebrating 1869 Chicago White Stockings

I suppose this should go with my earlier post on the scorecard associated with the 1878 Boston Red Stockings, http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=165430, as it covers the same theme. Per the cover: "Banquet of the Old Timers Baseball Association Given in Celebration of The Golden Anniversary of The Assembling of The Chicago White Stockings of 1869." The event occurred at the Great Northern Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, on December 9, 1919, not long after the White Sox "lost" the World Series. In addition to the other graphics, note in red in the lower left the "WS 1869" [White Sox 1869] stamping. Cap Anson, Charlie Comiskey and - fittingly - Kenesaw Mountain Landis were slated to make toasts, according to the interior page.
