1913 Baseball Team Photo postcard - C. H. Wood of the "Buffalo Club" Bisons?

[baseball tourist]

Help needed pls.

Picked up this team photo postcard dated 1913 and addressed to C H Wood of the Buffalo Club. Could this reference (not the photo) the Bisons?

The sender writes "Well Dad this is the team that Luther plays on and I manage. Class eh? Love Ken. " I assume that these players are part of a town team?

Even if CH Wood doesn't match up with a known Buffalo team it's interesting to me as my name is C Wood. Thanks for the help!

My guess is......


1. The "Buffalo Club" has nothing to do with Baseball but was probably a Mens Organization of some type.

2. The Baseball team is Probably Williams College and the other player probably went to Hotchkiss before entering Williams.

Ah, I think you're onto something there Rhys. I just finished scanning through all the 1913 minor league team managers and found no "Wood" listed, Ken or otherwise. I've got nothing on college teams to be able to confirm or deny, but that certainly sounds plausible.

In the photo of the 1912 Williams College baseball team below is Iron Davis (14), Bill Otis (15) who were on the 1912 New York Highlanders and Andy Coakley (17) coach here was on the 1911 Highlanders.

Tom Burr was on the 1913 Yankees and was on the 1913 Williams College team.

I had one of these a while back but never really found out much about it. Looks like the same Club though. Mike
