Default Chicago player

Thanks Mark and Don,

I had the Japanese inscription translated as "in commemoration of the 3rd Keio University vs. Chicago University baseball match".
The 2 schools played each other 3 times in 1910, with Chicago winning all 3. They were 16 wins 3 losses on that international trip. Perhaps my postcard is a picture of one of these players, from Don's weblink:
