Nice graphic, Tim.

Who was it that first posted here on Net54 about Foley White?

Frank - I couldn't answer that. I do know you began a thread sometime ago regarding the White card. After doing research on the southern league players, that included reading every days paper from February to June tracking White, I emailed you filling you in on what I found as I wasn't aware you had ever had your question answered. I never received a response. If someone knew about Foley White and why his team designation was Houston and not Waco, I wasn't aware, but I don't see why that is relevant to this thread. Why would what I posted require a qualifier about who talked about the White card on 54 first? Your bullying me while I try and participate in this forum in a positive way is uncalled for and childish.

If the identification of Ellam with Nashville was just a mistake, consider this.
There was a fellow named Kellum who did play for Nashville in the 1909-11 era.
I suppose it could have been a misidentification of the player or a misidentification of the team.
I'd like to see pictures of both players Kellum and Ellam

Tim, thank you, Sir. I appreciate it when I'm called childish. I apologize for taking your time with that when I know you're wanting to add pages to websites and such.

As for Kellum / Ellam, I think folks have been satisfied that the image on the Ellam, Nashville card really was Ellam.

Baseball reference thumbnails of Kellum and Ellam attached.
Kellum looks like a photo. Ellam looks like an image taken from his card.
Are there other Ellam photos out there??

Thanks to all for their input.

Asked and answered.

Same pose, but not a Nashville uniform.

So much for the Kellum theory.
