Airedale (?) in Spokane, clowns in Tacoma
Great pair of PCs Clint, thanks for posting!
The 1916 Spokane Indians NWL team card was sent by team member Carl Zamloch, to his older brother Claude, another former pro ballplayer. Zamloch was later head baseball coach at University of California for many years, and also a professional magician (like his father). Interesting fellow.
Other notables on this team include Ken Williams (back row, 4th from left), future 1919 Red and 27 Yankee Dutch Reuther (back row, 5th from left), Earl Sheely (front row, far right) and a youthful Abe Kemp (back row, far left), stalwart SF sportswriter and race handicapper for many years.
The 1915 Tacoma card has no animal mascots, but does have two clowns...and player/manager Joe McGinnity.
