Dewey,
I got a PM from Tom, and he stated that his Uncle's daughter, his cousin, who has known of the photo and has been searching for it for years. It may be the only known photo taken of him playing ball.
I informed him that the photographer worked for the Cleveland Press and the red editor markings on the back means the photo was probably used in one the paper's publications. At the Western Reserve Historical Society, in Cleveland, they only have to search through 1948, and should be able to easily find the newspaper article to go along with the photo.
Thanks were sent along in Tom's PM to me, but much goes to you as well. I know they appreciated your effort.
Bill
