Josh,

I've never seen the Glory of Their Times so I'm not familiar with that photo. I'll have to try to check it out. I think the Boston Bloomers and Star Bloomers were teams in the late 1890's and early 1900's, and then the Western Bloomers started ~1911 and was maybe a loose league or group of teams, all called Western Bloomers? I'm not sure, but I think that's how it went.

I've heard Wood got his start on one of the various Bloomer teams, but didn't really know which one. I'll definitely have to find a copy of Glory of Their Times.

Thx for the tip!
