Walden's monthly 1894/ info?

[GaryPassamonte]

The "George Wright" Boston image was included in a twelve panel insert in an 1875 baseball instructional booklet. Two of the twelve photographs were described as looking more like Wright's teammate Ross Barnes. The image you have here is one of the two that could possibly be Ross Barnes. This information comes from the 1984 SABR National Pastime publication on page 22.

Thanks Gary, I continue to hope that I will find that 1875 book some day. I had not made that connection since this is not a photo, but you are the Barnes expert. This particular article does have a photo of Wright on the next page and does pertain to the Spalding tour of England.
Joe, I am sending you a photo of the article on the English baseball games from1898 that are covered in one issue. Hope it pertains to your stuff.

Thanks Bruce! The 1894 Walden monthly article that you sent me is great. It describes the Thespians' 1983 British championship game at Hyde Farm, Balham.

This is a picture of that 1893 Thespians team. (btw - in British "tie" means game or one game that is part of a competition.)
