Yes they split into the Whites and Blues in 1916 and 1917 spring trainings. At points they would switch players from the two teams, mostly pitchers.
This photo is likely the first team photo of the champion White Sox of 1917, and more importantly the 1st that features all 8 men out present in a Sox uniform. |

Team 1 in the white uniforms and team 2 in the dark uniforms. From the March 16, 1917, Chicago Tribune.

Since I love researching things, love the 1919 White Sox, love my home state of Texas and a SABR member I decided it was worth my time to attempt an ID of this image as I was not at all satisfied with Heritage's description (they did correct the original listing after I contacted them as they originally had Gandil IDed as Joe Jackson). I wrote a research article and IDed everyone in this photo for the Dec 2020 SABR Black Sox Committee Newsletter.
Here are the IDs Top Row L-R: Swede Risberg, Clarence Rowland (manager), Nemo Leibold, Joe Jackson, Joe Jenkins, Bruno Haas, Mel Wolfgang, Jim Scott, Reb Russell, Hap Felsch, Kid Gleason (coach) 2nd Row L-R: Byrd Lynn, Jack Fournier, Fred McMullin, Walter Mayer, Johnny Walker, Frank Shellenback, John Collins, Red Faber, Joe Benz 3rd Row L-R: Ray Schalk, Andrew Norman, Bruce Hartford, Wilbur Gray, Lefty Williams, Zeb Terry, Snake Henry, Red Ainsworth, Dave Danforth Bottom Row L-R: Ted Jourdan, George Lyons, Eddie Collins, Ross Eldred, Ziggy Hasbrook, Eddie Cicotte, Chick Gandil, Martin Lamers, Buck Weaver Not Included in the Picture: Eddie Murphy-present in camp but not in photo (sick) Last edited by ThomasL; 12-23-2020 at 12:13 PM. |

You can find the Dec 2020 newsletter in PDF form here:
SABR is amazing, if you are not a member I strongly suggest becoming one and joining a committee/group in the area of the game you love. https://sabr.org/research/black-sox-...e-newsletters/ |
