Harry Lumley Colorado Springs Millionaires?

[Mountaineer1999]

Wondering if the player in the back row in the road gray uniform is Harry Lumley as a minor league player, Colorado Springs Millionaires 1902? I did find the photo on another web site, I've lost where I saw it, that pointed out the gray uniform but did not name the player.

That's a great photo! I am thinking about writing/illustrating a story about Harry Swacina. He played for some of the best-named teams in the country:

Colorado Springs Millionaires

Memphis Egyptians

Peoria Distillers

Rock Island Islanders

New Orleans Pelicans

Charleston Pals

Decatur Commodores

Baltimore Terrapins

Mobile Sea Gulls

and who can forget the Shreveport Gassers...!

Thanks for the info Mark, I thought it was Lumley but had no idea about the others. I was searching for Lumley stuff which led me there, had no idea ole Colorado Springs was loaded! :-)

I looked over your blog Gary, loved looking through some of your work and congrats on the book!
