World Tour, Tris Speaker in London, 1914

A Photographic Treasury of Baseball’s Deadball Era

World Tour, Tris Speaker in London, 1914

Tris Speaker is in full swing in this image taken during the World Tour stop in London. This photo must have been taken contemporaneously with the image used in the 1915 Susini and 1934 R & J Hill baseball cards featuring Speaker.

The uniforms are a match and close inspection of the three images shows markings that confirm this.
