Default 1911 Chicago Union Giants panoramic postcard

This oversized panoramic postcard depicts the Chicago Union Giants and the Daggett, Michigan baseball team at a September 6, 1911 contest in Daggett. The Union Giants wear jerseys reading "Peters" because Williams S. Peters owned the club. A friend's great research yielded the following identifications: Robert Gilkerson, who would buy the team in 1917 (2b, far left); Sam Gordon (c, second from left); Horace Jenkins (rf, third from left); Haywood "Kissing Bug" Rose (1b, fourth from right) Albert Toney (ss, second from right); James Harvey (p/rf, far right). The other players likely include Guy Jackson (3b); Mack Ramsey (lf), Ed Lee (cf), and Alexander (p). I will post more identifications as they come. For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com
