Uncorrected Pre-War Errors

[G1911]

There are many spelling errors, but usually they were just a letter off or would have the same pronunciation. Smith and Schmidt are pretty far apart! They got his name right on his other pose.

I’ve always wondered if they were just Anglocizing his name since Schmidt is the German version of Smith. He never went by Smith that I know of. But his birth name WAS Carl (German) and he/his family changed it to Charles (English for Carl)

Bill Burns didn't have 6 fingers, as far as I am aware.

Bill Burns did have 6 fingers, that is why he always hid them beneath his glove, and he even batted wearing that same glove.

Some folks have 6 fingers, whereas I seemingly have double posts.
