[QUOTE="BaseballGames, post: 574637, member: 7826"]Nice research, Debora. Definitely not Chief Bender or even remotely close. Also, guy in Atlantic Jim's photo a lefty, George Glendenning a right-hander, so, no. It is true that, strangely, Camden did not have a minor-league pro team between 1904 and 2001, so amateur or semi-pro is pretty certain -- probably industrial league as Jim guessed. Some historians of deadball-era amateur and minor-pro ball at Net54 [ [URL]http://net54baseball.com/[/URL] ] might have more information on 1910s teams in the Camden area, but zeroing in on an identification for that guy would be a real tough chore. The Deadball Era or Minor League research committees at SABR [ [URL]https://sabr.org/[/URL] ] might possibly also have some helpful information... Atlantic Jim, was there no paperwork -- correspondence, newspapers, clippings -- accompanying or mixed in with the photos that might provide any sort of clues?[/QUOTE]
