Joe_G.Hello Rhys,
Subsequent study by Bob Richardson suggests that maybe it isn't the 1897 game . . .
"When I was at the library this week, I checked further into the 1897 game and found that Spalding and George Wright played for the Oldtimers, though most of the others were lesser lights, including George's brother Sam and Harry Schaefer of the 1870s Boston teams. I don't see Spalding or Wright in that photo, so I suspect it was another occasion."
So maybe it is the 1903 game.
Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski (& Bob Richardson)
