This is definitely the 1914 Lookouts. The man who is fifth from the left in the back row is my late Grandfather, William Sline. Chattanooga bought his contract from the Providence Grays of the Class AA International League in 1914. He appeared in 33 games for the Lookouts, completed 25 of the 32 he started for a 16 and 13 record. He negotiated his release as a free agent at the end of the season in order to return to his New England home. If anyone has any more information about his one year with Chattanooga I would appreciates learning more.
