Here's an article from the Evening Ledger dated May 2, 1917. M.M. Sheldrake was "business manager". The article lists a partial schedule under "Amateur Baseball Notes".
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=1 I believe the insignia reads "NWAA" for "Norwood A.A." (Athletic Association?) as they were referred to in this June 2, 1917 Evening Ledger article: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lc...arRange&page=1 That took longer than usual, good challenge. Lots of fun. Last edited by pariah1107; 04-14-2014 at 03:30 PM. |

Thanks to all for comments and the investigation.............
Ty....Appreciate the work you did and links provided. I need to learn to get better at tracking down info. My wife is tracking down some of the info on Ancestry. My grandfather #6 was married in 1912 to my grandmother the sister of #7. My great uncle #7 Raymond Wilson was living with his parents at the time. His father is Wm. R. Wilson listed under Norwood in the Ridley Township Directory of 1916. My grandfather was in the Army Reserve and was called up for duty on the Mexican Border in 1916-17. Records indicate he was home by the time of the AD to arrange games for the Norwood team in the May 2, 1917 Amateur Baseball paper AD. This pic without more info is probably just prior or after the 1916-17 period. Tim....I noticed the "A" on my great uncle's shirt being different. Makes me wonder if they were short uniforms or if he was the "Batboy". If the pic is 1917 he would be 20. But to me he looks possibly younger and a little more slight than the others, which could make it prior to 1916. Thanks again, Charlie |
