Yes this is from the 1918 spring training in Mineral Wells, Tx. This is the 2nd team, called Yannigans. Shano Collins was in charge of the 2nd team and the presence of Fred McMullin aids in dating the time of the picture as he was moved to the 1st team at one point.

Here are my IDs which are 100% correct:

Top Guy: Guinn Williams
2nd Row (L-R): Swede Risberg, Paul Musser, Shano Collins, Nello Tedschi, Byrd Lynn
3rd Row(L-R): Joe Benz, Ted Jourdan
Bottom Row: L-R): Tip O'Neill, Clarence Metz, Hervey McClellan, unknown, Nemo Leibold, Fred McMullin, Unknown*

Now who here knows who Guinn Williams was???? He was only in over 100 movies...Big Boy Williams and he was a walk on that helped the Sox out in 1918 and was invited back to train in 1919!

Cool postcard and thanks for sharing info...
