Need help with T210 Player Identification!

[Vintagecatcher]

Let's try another card to see if we can identify this catcher in the T210 Old Mill set.

The 1910 roster for the Portsmouth Truckers lists a W.G. Smith.

Here is the card in question.

I did find a Wib Smith that was a catcher and 1st baseman during this time period.

Thanks for checking Steve.

The plot thickens!

I found a player listed as G. W. Smitheal, who played for Fort Worth in 1909 in the Texas League. No position listed but it's too close to the G. W. Smith listed on the 1910 Portsmouth official roster. Guessing they are one and the same player.
