Photo identification help - Bay City Michigan 1914 or 1915?
I picked up a few photos at an auction about a year ago. Just put them aside until now. I don't know if it's a hint or a distraction, but in the grouping are several photos (of a different size) of players from "Battle Creek" and another of players from "Adrian"... I'm assuming Michigan.
This photo measures 3.25x2.25 and obviously a set up pose. At this point, I'm just curious as to where the photo was taken. Attached are the 1. full photo 2a. a close up of the player with something "AY" on the right side of the jersey and 2b. what is probably a Fatima Cigarettes sign in the outfield. 3. "Meet Me At The Grotto" 4. "Hotel Flanders" Any help is appreciated. Last edited by t206hound; 02-13-2013 at 12:49 PM.

Maybe Bay City, MI?
Bay City, MI: 1883-84, 1891, 1897-98, 1906-10 ????; 1893 (Riders); 1911-12 (Billikens); 1913-15 (Beavers); 1919-26 (Wolves) Also, there was a Hotel Flanders in Chicago at least as early as 1926 when WFHC began broadcasting from there. If it was grouped with others, are they of a similar timeframe? (Even if not, it would be interesting to see them all). Last edited by thecatspajamas; 02-12-2013 at 08:22 PM.

Isn't that a 'Fatima' ad on the fence? The Polo Grounds had one of those back in the 1910's.
Not saying it's the Polo Grounds, just noticing the ad.

Great info everyone. I found the following site that states that the "Grotto Theater" was the name used from 1914 to 1926 in Bay City.
http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/13389 With all the pieces uncovered, I would say this is a Bay City MI team somewhere in the 1914-1926 timeframe. You guys rock!
