Here's a Track and Field pickup. This is the C52 version of the set, which are pretty difficult. I haven't come across more than maybe 5 or so of any single card over the last 20 years. 92/109 down, which I am happy about.
Porter is a significant card as the guy who sued the ATC over image rights; his card likely confirms that the C52's were printed very close in time together to T218 and it is perhaps not proper to consider them a separate set. He won the Gold in the High Jump at the 1908 Olympics. He helped found the Society of Industrial Engineers in 1907 when he was at his athletic peak. Seems to have led a rather varied life.
