Default Could that be someone other than Foley White in the white border tobacco cards, T206???

Hmmm ... looks like Foley caught in 80 games for Waco in 1909, but only batted .207. It appears that William Powell went from Fort Worth to Waco during the 09 season. Between the two teams, he batted .242 in 125 games. Oh, and Powell was a catcher!

Perhaps Foley wasn't producing enough so Waco got Powell from Fort Worth and sent Foley on to Houston???

Ok, I'm off to bed. Looking forward to seeing where this investigation leads
