T209-1 Contentnea ....Bourquise?

[rhettyeakley]

Just to muddy the waters a bit, there was also a player named Arthur J. Bourgeois that there is a record for that played in 1902 and then also in 1909 & 1910 --all for Wisconsin area teams.

There is a T209-2 Bourquin in Lot 49 of the B&L Auction (No, I'm not the consigner).


And here's one from Card Pricer

There was a Fulton, Kentucky team( Fulton Colonels) in the KITTY league in 1911, if that is of any help.

OK guys, what do you think of the facial similarity?

What Bill said... Fulton, Ky had a team in 1911, 1922-24, 1936-42, and 1946-55.

Fulton, New York had a team in 1910 in the Central New York League. Presidnt was L. T. Galusha. Teams included Auburn, Geneva, Oneida, Rome, Oswego, Fulton, and Cortland. The League folded June 3, 1910. This was a class D league, I don't see it in the minor league data base.

So does anyone have a Sporting Life for April or May of 1910? That might have some New York Central League box scores. I might have an issue from then, but it will take me a while to dig down to them. My lone reel of Sporting Life on microfilm is 13 Mar 1909 to 5 Mar 1910. I'll check the last couple of issues on that in a few days, but I doubt it would show any box scores.

So I think this guy Bourquise was with the Fulton team of the NYCL in 1910, then caught on down south in time for photos with Rocky Mount, then never stuck with the team because of an injury, home-sickness, his yankee ways, or something...

Frank, the only problem with that theory is that the T209-1 series is from 1909 not 1910.

Looking at the SABR minor league database it appears the player they are calling Bourquise & Bourquin is in their records as "Burke" (possibly a mistake?)-- A player named "Burke" was with Rocky Mount in 1909 and Wilmington in 1910.
