The Prineville v. Bend rivalry was probably fierce. Any team from Crook County was instantly skeptical. Got the same rap around here, former name of Ellensburg was "Robber's Roost".
Love the Portland Giants PC, some of them are almost recognizable after further research . As always remarkable PC's sir.Do you believe those PC's of the Gophers were in Minnesota or after they moved to the PNW? Last edited by pariah1107; 08-19-2015 at 04:18 PM. |

Thanks! The Oregon game shown above was part of a 1909 tournament in a place called Prairie City, as iconic a name for an old west town as you'll find. Below are the five I have from the tourney. $300 was awarded for first place, $200 for second, $100 for third.
The c. 1911 Portland Giants (above) is the same team that Jimmy Claxton played for a few years later. The team with Claxton is shown below (he's in the bottom right). Some of the c. 1911 players are identified here: http://www.sportingoregon.com/p75660...5ea5#h52845ea5 . Any additional information on players is welcome. The Gophers image above was snapped in 1908 when they were the St. Paul Gophers, as confirmed by the uniforms and players shown.
