Default Speaker/Cobb/Wood-Scandall

There is also good mention of it in Speaker's biography which I just finished & would highly recommend... Although Cobb & Speaker both enjoyed placing a wager... I think that people should take a good look at leonard who had good motive to throw these two to the wolves...

Wood admitted to doing it, with the others. It was stuff like this that got such stringent gambling rules in place.

OK, I'll ask the question: what's the photo show?

I believe it is Kennesaw Mountain Landis.

Sorry, read that wrong. Thought you asked "who"? I too am not sure what conclusion can be drawn from the picture of Landis and Speaker talking.

Is there a date or place the photo was taken?

Default Speaker photo

It looks like the photo was taken after the indians won the series (I believe 1920)... the cobb/speaker scandal came out much later but I believe the picture shows a heated conversation between the two (note the gritting teeth)
