Help Identifying Chicago player

[Bridwell]

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

Heres an interesting little write up on it:

This likely depicts one of the tour games played in Tokyo, Hong Kong or Shanghai.

Unfortunately I think it's almost impossible to tell the ID of the batter.
