Thanks Rob. Here is the link if anyone wants to review it.https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...hlight=sweeney

What's interesting is that Sweeney and Jack Warhop were released to Richmond at the same time, but the latter did not report and obtained his unconditional release. Warhop was in negotiations with St. Louis and pitched there in the Spring of 1916 but was cut before the season began. He has a T213-2 card for St. Louis, which gives insight as to release of the 1916 series for that set. Since Sweeney was not back to Richmond after the 1915 season, this too gives insight into the 1915 release of T213-2 that year.
