I once owned a scorecard from that game. I saw the names and bought it right away. Sold it to another board Member. Sam Thompson played in game as well. And I was told that the scorecard was resold to relitive of Thompson. ( It is my understanding that Matty played in at least 2 games while visiting Bowerman for hunting trip) I will update with picture of scorecard.
Sorry only pictures I could find are a little fuzzy. But as you can see from date , 1903 that Matty and Bowerman played with Romeo on more than 1 occasion. And I think 1903 is the game that they lost. Despite 2 hall of Famers Sam Thompson and Christy Mathewson. Nice story from a different time. And your photo is such a crisp clear image...just amazing..
GREAT PHOTO!!!!!
