Spring Training site for the Cleveland Naps (now Indians) from 1910-1911 was in Alexandria, Louisiana. SOURCE: http://www.clevelandareahistory.com/...-training.html Shoeless Joe Jackson played on the Cleveland Naps from 1910-1915. SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoeless_Joe_Jackson "F. W. Smith, of Cleveland, for 21 years staff photographer for the "Plain Dealer" and "Leader," announces that he has left newspaper work to devote his entire time to home portrait, commercial and speed photography. Good luck to you, friend Smith!" SOURCE: (Abel's Photographic Weekly, July 1, 1922) https://books.google.com/books?id=NI...Dealer&f=false Frank W. Smith obviously lived in Cleveland so that would explain the reason they were in Northeast Ohio. Here's the part I get lost on... The description of the Christy Mathewson photo says, "Mathewson following through on a warm-up toss before a slowly filling grandstand at Chicago's West Side Grounds". Why would Frank Smith, the Plain Dealer photographer be in Chicago shooting a Giants-Cubs game? Would he pick up a photo from another photographer to get signed? I doubt that. Any thoughts or theories? Last edited by mschwade; 02-10-2015 at 10:17 AM. |
