on the final 8 image recently posted......

One more was found -

Second row, third one over -
It is the bat boy for the Cubs - Gilly Hasbrook.

Here is a 1993 Conlon Collection card of Bill Walker...maybe this will at least help identify him? Brandon

Brandon -

Is that a mole on his face?

Because I don't see a similar mole on the person on the stamp.

edit: it sure does look like him otherwise.

I'm sure that it's not but i did find something better....If you do a search on this site under gashouse gang you will find an archived thread called "lets see your gashouse gang". Go to page 6 of this thread and you will see that Frank Wakefield has the same picture you do with Walker sitting down maybe in the dugout? Sorry i cant figure out how to link this directly to your thread but this might help a little more.

Thats Bill Walker for sure!

We are down to 6.

I am leaning toward calling the "Cotton" one - "Cotton" Bogren who was the clubhouse boy for the Cubs at the time (and then went on to be head groundskeeper for many years).

There is a stamp of the Cubs bat boy Gilly Hasbrook - so I don't see why there couldn't be one of the Cubs clubhouse boy (although I wish I had some more evidence).


edit: anybody know the names of the bat boy and clubhouse boy for the White Sox in 1935?? I bet thats who the two White Sox players are. With their sig on the stamp - all we need is name confirmation.

I understand this isn't a side view of him as in your burke photo and am still trying to find a more accurate picture of rothrock(it seems nearly impossible)...but here is one that you might see some resemblance...
