Early Milwaukee Baseball Photograph
 
1 Attachment(s)
Long time lurker here, first time poster. I found this photograph at an auction recently, and am coming up short on information. The guys all wear "Nowiny Polskie" uniforms, and someone has etched into the mount of the photo "Nowiny Polskie Champions Milwaukee Semi Pro League". Anyone have further information on the team or players? I keep hitting dead ends with my research. Thank you!

A quick Google search shows that Nowiny Polskie was a Polish daily newspaper. Perhaps the Polish Community Center in Milwaukee could help you with ids.

This may be a long-shot or a good lead. Research the Kosciuskos Reds. They had a pennant winning team in 1912. Louis Fons was team organizer and was publisher of the Nowiny Polskie, Polish newspaper.
