Joseph- if you are able to post the team picture from the 1907 Guide you will see an exact match- that's the photo they used.

Dave- I just saw your question. Each year the Spalding Guides were loaded with photos of major and minor league teams. In the 1907 Guide there is a composite photo of the Peoria team. A composite is made by laying out individual photos of players and reshooting the image. The photo that was used for Simon in this composite is not similar to yours- it is identical to yours! For all we know, that could be the exact one used for the Spalding Guide.
