Keith, incredible stuff! Is that Pete or Emil Hauser? Emil Hauser was also known by his Indian name of Waseca (some publications list his name as Emil Wauseka). He played baseball for Green's Nebraska Indians in 1906. He broke his foot in Kentucky and had to stay behind. A young lady was taking care of him and was paying him so much attention it made her husband jealous and Hauser had to get out of town quickly.

A rare ball in any condition, this 1918 ONL with YMCA stamp is in immaculate sealed condition. I've never seen another boxed example. Note that the president's seal is unmarked denoting that it is between the Tener and the Heydler presidencies.

Thanks Dan, I didn't realize Hauser played for the Nebraska Indians - pretty cool. I believe Hauser was one of the two guys (the other being Joe Libby) that traveled to play minor league baseball with Jim Thorpe during their time at Carlisle, which ultimately resulted in Thorpe being later stripped of his Olympic medals.
