I just picked up a lot of 1903 Pottsville, PA baseball receipts and was hoping to get a little help on the signatures. The only one that I recognize is the first one, Harry Smith - Philadelphia Giants. Any help would be appreciated.

Alfred Lawson (Reading) was a major league player before he became a manager.

My initial thought was also that it might be Alfred Lawson, the former player etc, but his middle name began with a W, not a J, as it appears to be in a receipt below. It certainly could be the ballplayer Lawson, but I am not sure. Lawson was a very interesting person, player, manager, aviator, sailor, baseball game designer, and it was his famous sign on the scoreboard at Fenway Park during the 1912 World Series. If it is that Lawson, it might explain the "nuff ced" near his name, as he was a friend of nuff ced Mcgreevey. I hope it is the ballplayer, there must be some autographs around to compare.

Here is a vintage example I have. I didn't bother to check the signatures, just mentioned that Lawson was a former major leaguer.
I have 3-4 other examples of his signature as well signed later in life. Rhys

Could the "A.J Lawson" be his brother Alexander Lawson?
"This article presents a side to Lawson seldom evidenced elsewhere. For one thing, it shows he was still (as of 1903) close to his family. His brother Alexander came to Reading to help manage Al's team;" http://morefiends.typepad.com/more_fiends/baseball/ |
