1914 World Tour Photos ID

[prewarsports]

These are the ones I have that are identified so far

Joe Bush/Wickie McAvoy (identified on back as the "newlywed battery")

Ray Chapman (smokestack in background)

King Cole (pretty sure, guy with the long face)

George Moriarty himself (Umpire in background)



I think these were taken in California because there was PCL stadium photos in the lot originally that I sold and that would make sense since most of the games that were played were in California and others in weird places like Montana etc.

Of the first 4 posted, the first one is Bill James, the last is Eddie Murphy. My computer is down right now - so I won't be able to help much more for a few days.

Thanks Mark, just typed in those two and compared and you are dead on as usual. Not bad for "off the cuff"! Only 2 left unidentified. The skinny guy looks a lot like Eddie Collins but he is not listed as being on the tour.

I thought that looked like Collins as well, but I figured you knew what he looked like

The 2nd photo looks like Jack Barry.

3rd is Luke Boon, and that's John Henry left of Joe Bush.

Thanks Mark

So the Eddie Collins look alike is the last one unidentified.

The guy below Bill James is probably Willie Mitchell, but I would need to see a better scan of his face to be sure.

These are really cool, however I have it on good authority that the top one with Joe Bush and Wickey McAvoy, is not Wickey McAvoy. I sent that picture to my Grandmother (his daughter). Unfortunately I don't know who it is.

I see that now. Thanks.
