Very cool history behind White Sox at Royal Gorge 1910

[Dto7]

Here's another photo of that unknown player in the second Royal Gorge photo. The player in white top left.

According to The Chicago Examiner players waiting on the west coast for the Comiskey train.

The Players were Bill Burns, Chick Gandil, Victor Holm, Hugh McMurray, Charlie Mullen, Jim Scott, and Shaw.

I think this is Johnny Beall

The unknown player is catcher Art Kruger who played pro baseball for one year for the 1910 Lincoln Railsplitters of the Western League. Not to be confused with Arthur Theodore Kruger who played in the majors 1907-1915.

Awesome Don. It's amazing that the newspaper item chose to feature a close-up of Kruger.

I have no doubt this guy is Beall.

You guys are amazing (and I say this as someone who has written a half-dozen history books for major publishers). Happy I got this thread started. And to think I bought that postcard mainly for the "art" of it.
