Started to ask if this was him in his 1917 Lincoln Links uniform, but then saw the date on the postmark. Could the photo be from a failed 1916 try-out? (noting that baseball-reference.com does not show any minor league activity for him for 1916).
In any case, very nice photo, and no doubt a rare signature considering he was not a big-name player and passed nearly 70 years ago. I can't imagine there are too many of either photos or signatures of his out there.
