Funny that Ruth was picking on somebody else's nose...!

This one has been posted by myself and others on some other threads, but it really belongs here too.
Addie Joss' Death Benefit Game, Monday, July 24, 1911. Cleveland pitcher Addie Joss died of tubercular meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain, April 14, 1911. Charles Somers, the owner of the Cleveland team, wanted to put together a benefit game for the Joss family. So, the AL scheduled a benefit game for his widow, Lillian. It was played between an AL all-star team and Cleveland. The game raised $12,914.60 for Lillian Joss, as a crowd of 15,281 saw the AL All-Stars win, 5-3. Clyde Milan replaced Speaker in CF midway through the game, and Walter Johnson blanked the Naps on 1 hit in 3 innings in relief of Wood, who relieved Russ Ford. The Cleveland team featured Nap Lajoie, Joe Jackson, and Cy Young.

"Thank you so very much for posting these fabulous, fantastic, glorious images..."
You bet Bill, not a problem. I'd been sitting on a lot of these images for too long. Also, it took some time to touch-up and in some cases, rejoin separate images back to a single cohesive picture....which is what I did today to that great picture that you posted of the 1914 World
Unfortunately....I basically posted everything I had in my collection. However, I'm still digging for more...and when I find them...I'll be sure to share.
Cheers! ~B
