This is a cabinet photo, but thought it would be of interest on this thread.

Appears to be a young "KiKi" Cuyler (HOF) in the back row, second from the left. My research shows this ball team is the 1311 Elks of Willimantic, Connecticut. Cuyler was from Michigan, so not sure why he would be at this location - unless he had relatives nearby... I contacted the lodge but they had no information.

Cuyler's father had at one time, worked on the Great Lakes in the Life Saving Service, so there may be a connection to Connecticut through the Coast Guard

Thanks to a great board member, I have a couple new postcards. First, a Guy Lafluer pre rookie card which has a very low pop, and second a Brush Postcard with my favorite player of Ty Cobb.

Similar views of 1930s Davenport, Iowa, and its multi-sport ballpark on the banks of the Mississippi. These days, the Davenport park hosts baseball alone and added protection from recurring high waters. Note it retains that squared-off left field edge, echoing the former football end zone.

Earle Combs (HOF) - Postcard of the 1918 baseball team for the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School (today, it is Eastern Kentucky University). Combs originally intended to become a school teacher. He is in the back row at the far right.

In the Major Leagues, he accumulated a .325 lifetime batting average in 12 seasons with the fabled New York Yankees of Ruth and Gehrig. He was the leadoff hitter and played centerfield where he was succeeded by Joe DiMaggio.
