Interesting...Southern Pines, NC was the spring training site for the 1914 Baltimore Terrapins of the Federal League, so that
could be Frank Smith wearing an old White Sox jersey before the season started.
Does the guy in the sweater look like George Gibson to anyone else besides me?
Would the Pirates have trained against a Federal League team, or would that have been considered taboo at the time?
