John, nice pick up, I have always thought that was a bit of an under-rated Dots Miller card due to the fact that he passed away that same year (In September if I remember correctly), he joins a few others in the Zeenut set pictured in the year that they met their untimely ends.

Included in that group is the 1912 posthumous batting champion Heinie Heitmuller who contracted a fever and passed away near the end of 1912...


Also included in this unfortunate club is Laverne "Larry" Chappell who contracted the Spanish Flu during the epidemic of 1918 and passed away that same year...
