I was wondering same. But what had me believing it was someone of the same race is the orphanage pictured on the front was at that time integrated with a monthly journal published entitled "Soul Food". Tried to find anything on the person it addressed to and came up empty. Delving into census now to see if I can find anything on Mr. Thompson. Thank you, Steve, for the info on the game. It appears that it may indeed have been a barnstorming game with "George" having little or no consequence.
