This is definitely the 1914 Lookouts. The man who is fifth from the left in the back row is my late Grandfather, William Sline. Chattanooga bought his contract from the Providence Grays of the Class AA International League in 1914. He appeared in 33 games for the Lookouts, completed 25 of the 32 he started for a 16 and 13 record. He negotiated his release as a free agent at the end of the season in order to return to his New England home. If anyone has any more information about his one year with Chattanooga I would appreciates learning more.

Holy Moly! I did not expect a reply like this. That is so cool. Feel free to use the images if you want to make a print for yourself and family. I can make a high resolution scan if you would like. This is one of my favorite photos in my collection.
