This cover could probably go into the Red Sox thread as well, as it speaks of the championship season of 1912. That's Joe Wood on the left and, I believe, Tris Speaker on the right.

I can't find this glove, so either I sold it or lost it in my last move

interesting message on back of the postcard (sent to R.A. Woods) includes a reference to the games in Manila, P.I.

link with info. on 1908 Reach All Americans in Manila:

http://asianbb.sabr.org/japanesebaseballtimeline.html:

"1908 - A team comprised of Major League reserves and players from the Pacific Coast League tours Japan to promote the products of the Reach Sporting Goods Co. The Reach All-Americans compile a 17-0 record against Japanese college teams. The tour then goes to Manila where, in November, the All-Stars compile a 10-2 record, with both losses against U.S. military teams."
