Help Identifying Chicago player

[bmarlowe1]

That has to be the smallest image I've ever seen posted here. When posted in a visible by humans size next to a photo of Red Faber from the 1913 tour - it looks like a uniform match to me. The postcard seems too washed out for player ID.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your help. I couldn't figure out how to grab the ebay image and enlarge it. Glad you were able to.

Maybe with a list of Tour Players and a better scan, someone can figure out who it is. Or maybe there's a board member who reads Japanese??? I was the buyer so I'll have the original postcard soon.

When you have it, a good scan might make it possible to ID the player.

I received the item, finally. Here's some better scans.

I'm guessing Jim "Death Valley Jim" Scott. Is this a contest? What do I win?

Im thinking its Dick Egan. Here is a list of the "chicago" players from that series:

"Death Valley" Jim Scott, Tris Speaker, Jack Bliss, Joe Benz, "Nixey" Callahan, Germany Schaefer, Buck Weaver, Sam Crawford, Dick Egan, Walter Leverenz, Tommy Daly, Andy Slight, Steve Evans
