Managed to pick-up this Tacoma track photo (ca. 1905-08) for well under $100. Never thought I'd acquire an Ernie Tanner (1889-1956) image, as they are very few, and this is a previously unknown photo. Professed to be "the greatest athlete ever produced in the state of Washington" in his 1956 obituary, he was a phenomenal four sport/four year athlete in high school, who led tiny Whitworth College to an upset victory over the University of Oregon on the gridiron in 1908 (16-10). He was also an influential African American labor leader on the Tacoma waterfront for decades.
