...just received the hand-lettered 1932 photo ( taken by 'Schoolboy' Rowe's 'roomate' at Spring training at Tiger Field in Lakeland , Florida ( they were still there as of this past Spring )----it's a very very young Eldon Auker who is with one hand holding his rat terrier puppy and with his other pulling close " His Luck-Charm Tom Mix "
...I collect just about anything that's thirties Tigers but this is the oddest item I've found so far...fountain pen was used for the printing on the front; on the reverse , written in cursive pencil is :
Big Six Auker
His dog & good
luck charm
Tom Mix
