TCDB's database turns up only a 2010 Historic Autographs cut signature card (https://www.tcdb.com/Person.cfm/pid/...tName=&sBrand=)

5 games in 1915, not good in 1916, but his final year he hit .276 and played pretty well it appears as a backup catcher. The A's traded Schang away at the end of the year, and they also traded away Val Picinich who went on to a decent career as a part time catcher for many years. Billy Meyer didn't play a game after 1917 either. They only kept Wickey McAvoy who had played 10 games in 1917 for the next year and got 295 plate appearances for 1918 and didn't hit well but not too horribly, and Cy Perkins who had played 6 games in 1917 and was horrible in 1918. Didn't call up anyone or trade for anyone, it was just McAvoy and Perkins. The stat lines make it look like Haley should have been a pretty clear guy to keep on the roster or even let compete for the starting job. Wonder what happened.
