Couple of Sox PCs. Team card postmarked October 12, 1906. Referencing Game 3 of the World Series between the Sox and the Cubs. Final score was 3-0. Walsh was the pitcher and the Cubs only got 2 hits off of him. Game 3 was held one day before on October 11th.




Rooter card is postmarked 1909

Jason, I really like those White Sox postcards!

For the heck of it, I did a Google search on the name Harry C. Moir Jr. and came up with this:

It turns out that the child pictured on the postcard was adopted by Harry C. Moir Sr. and his wife...the boy was born in 1902.

Moir Sr. was the owner of the Morrison Hotel in Chicago (which included the Boston Oyster House) - the same establishment featured on ad backs of some 1097 George Hull White Sox postcards and 1908 Gringon Cubs postcards.

Nice research, Tom. Here's the back of the Rooter PC. Boston Oyster House as you mention. So, looks like it's his boy and maybe they were giveaways from the restaurant.
