Top left is August 25, 1905 when a local jeweler presented him with a watch after his last game with the Augusta Tourists. Then the Detroit Free Press paper announcing his arrival August 30 1905. Also shown is his first game with Detroit in uniform. Can’t remember the bottom left date but pretty sure it’s 1905. As to the original picture I posted my guess is a solid maybe, but more research needed.
