Sure looks that way, right? I found this from a Times Leader article:

Honus Wagner walked the streets of Dawson Springs in those days, and managed to pull together a rag-tag bunch of youth for some pick-up baseball, and life instruction. He called them his “Young Recruits.” Wagner and his Pirate mates were good to the town of Dawson Springs, and could be found at many local gatherings. Wagner and his buddies often fished at the Mill Dam, right beside Riverside Park, walking the short distance from the New Century Hotel to the banks of Tradewater.
