Probably a school team...on the steps of a building is almost always a high school or college team. In this case I would guess High School. I saw something on the google that "Lyceum FC" was a German club.

Question for the bat guys?
Thanks Dan,
Upon closer inspection I can see "1906" written on the back?? Also, I looked through a Loupe and could see "Spalding" written on the bat and what appears to be the words or word "Gold Mean" underneath the word Spalding??? It is very hard to make out what the second phrase is... Thats my best guess, I figured that might be enough for a "bat" guy to translate. 11 names on the back but I can only make out 7 for sure. O'hara ??? Golden ?? Deegan ?? Dwyer Yank O'mara Dahl Carroll Wagner Antonides Last edited by smokelessjoe; 05-04-2009 at 07:46 PM. Reason: added a name

Deegan makes sense - they are an old Amboy family. The FC may be a "fraternal club" that hosted the team. Great photo. Too bad there isn't more of the building showing. Enjoy

Judson, Thanks that is good to hear about the Deegan family... I am going to research "fraternal club", I do not know why I did not think of that.
Thanks again Dan, Thanks... That has got to be it. Again, I do not know why I did not think of that. Sometimes when you try to read real deep into something, you miss what is staring you right in the face! A side note: Of the guys hats I can see, two have the letter "P" and two have the letter "L". ???

"FC" first and most immediately suggests "football club," meaning soccer -- the abbreviation is ubiquitous among soccer teams. The article Shawn posted mentions Keystone AA -- surely "Athletic Association." It was fairly common way back when for men's clubs, youth clubs, &c', to field teams in several sports, often with the same amateur athletes. Maybe this group was first formed as a soccer club, then dabbled successfully in baseball and perhaps other sports as well.

Lyceum photo
My first thoughts when looking at the photo was also that the FC stood for football club, but fraternal club makes sense too. The reason I thought football club (american football, but I guess soccer is possible as well), was that you can see alot of the players are wearing a long sleeve striped shirt with LYCEUM lettered on the front, under their baseball uniform that is lettered as well. I think this would be odd to wear two different lettered uniforms in layers. My thought was this organization had both football and baseball teams, and perhaps it was an early season cold weather game, so the players wore their football sweaters under their baseball uniforms. Just a guess on my part.
