It's worth noting that Leon's 5x4 block of W590s has 2 baseball players on the same row as 3 boxers. That suggests there were not 4 purely baseball strips. Thus, the elusive Mr. Spencer seems more plausible, though still unlikely.
Does anyone have an unchanged player, like Gehrig, with caption in the thinner type face (I don't)? If not, the lighter font may have been used only for players with changed captions, just as the caption variations in E97 were unique.
