I guess these could be cricket players, I have yet to do any research on them, just got them in. My first thought is that cricket would have been much more popular on the east coast than Chicago???

I have found Allaire in Chicago census data and will try to narrow down a club affilliation. ANY input on these is accepted and appreciated.

I wouldn't expect to see any cricket photos out of Chicago - I assumed yours were baseball players.

I had a great team cdv of cricket players (East coast) that I sold or traded to a board member many years ago - it did look just like a baseball team, except for the cricket paddles.
