Hi Scot,
I think that you're right. There's clearly a connection between the 8 Hindu no-prints and the 6 Texas League subjects. Population reports are somewhat sketchy, but I think theyre ok for showing trends. I compared some numbers in SGC's pop reports and came up with a pretty interesting one.

The first number is population of Piedmont-backed examples, and the second number is the population of Old Mill-backed examples. I've then listed the difference.

Revelle = 17/37 = Old Mill +20
Helm = 16/35 = +19
Carey = 23/34 = +11
Foster = 18/28 = +10
Manion = 19/29 = +10
Mullaney = 21/31 = +10
Shaughnessy = 20/29 = +9
Coles = 19/26 = +7
Ellam = 16/23 = +7
Hickman = 21/28 = +7
Cranston = 23/29 = +6
Hooker = 21/27 = +6
Howard = 26/32 = +6
McCauley = 18/24 = +6
Paige = 19/24 = +5
Reagan = 22/27 = +5
Greminger = 24/28 = +4
Bernhard = 24/27 = +3
Kiernan = 26/29 = +3
Smith (Atlanta) = 23/26 = +3
Guiheen = 26/28 = +2
Thornton = 25/27 = +2
Jordan = 26/27 = +1
Lipe = 25/26 = +1
Ryan = 24/25 = +1
Perdue = 21/21 = 0


Breitenstein = 27/26 = Piedmont +1
Otey = 26/25 = +1
Violat = 25/24 = +1
Fritz = 25/23 = +2
Hart (Montgomery) = 32/29 = +3 Hindu no-print
Lafitte = 26/23 = +3
Bay = 26/21 = +5
Persons = 30/22 = +8
Hart (Little Rock) = 36/25 = +11 Hindu no-print
Miller = 38/25 = +13 Texas Leaguer
Stark = 36/23 = +13 Texas Leaguer
Molesworth = 35/19 = +16
Bastian = 45/28 = +17 Texas Leaguer
Seitz = 38/20 = +18 Hindu no-print
Orth = 47/28 = +19 Hindu no-print
Smith (Shreveport) = 40/21 = +19 Texas Leaguer
White = 42/23 = +19 Texas Leaguer
King = 40/20 = +20 Hindu no-print
Thebo = 46/26 = +20 Texas Leaguer
Westlake = 45/25 = +20 Hindu no-print
Rockenfeld = 45/23 = +22 Hindu no-print
Lentz (Sentz) = 50/18 = +32 Hindu no-print

I think this fairly clearly suggests that the Texas leaguers and Hindu no-prints were printed together. Not only do they lack Hindu backs, but their proportion of Piedmont to Old Mill distinguishes them from other Southern Leaguer cards.

That's all I have time for now, but I'll post some other ideas later.
