Wishful thinking?

Posted By: jamie

sorry to dredge up an old thread but i think ive finally been able to identify the team pictured in my postcard:

The Falls City Colts of the Mink League. I know this isn't a smoking gun but Thorpe's tribe is from this area- a google search of Jim Thorpe and Falls City turns up a surprising amount.

I also did a digital comparison of the man pictured in my postcard and compared it with a Thorpe picture. It was as close a match as you could have.

Does anyone know what assumed names Thorpe played under as an amateur or have any more information or leads on this piece that might help?
