Default 1914 Japan tour. who is it ?

Posted By: Robert S

I don't believe Hal Chase went abroad, leaving the tour after it played the Midwest and West Coast. He chose to go home to Northern California instead.

See the book: "The Tour To End All Tours" for detailed info on the tour and all the players, team execs, wives, etc. who made the trip. The book details all the games played here in the U.S. and internationally.

The guy who was selling this on eBay had a bunch of these taken on the ship during the trip overseas and was making all sorts of wild claims as to who the photos represented. He had them for sale starting in the summer.

For some reason he kept seeing Chase in many of the photos! On page 96 of The Tour To End All Tours book, it states that Chase went home to San Jose after the tour played in Seattle in November and before it departed overseas.

That said, I believe the seller had a couple of nice postards that depicted Weaver and one that had Speaker.
