Remember... Henry Reccius (the ciagr maker) had two
older brothers (Phil and John) who played professional ball in Lousiville in the early 1890's:

Given the date of this photo (1897), they must
have gone on to form a semi-pro team and then
perhaps their brother used the team to advertise
his cigar-making company??
