Those are some cool postcards, Glen.
That's Red Sox mainstay Hal Janvrin in the front row of the Camp Devens card. SABR bio confirms it: http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/80f3a62e BBRef shows a minor league team for Streator for the years 1912-1915 but a little googling yielded the info that the Reds were a popular town ball squad dating back to the 1890s and before. I cobbled together some excerpts from a city history, chronology a bit unclear, that gives a glimpse of their story. That's a fine looking postcard, a classical assemblage of ballplayers.
