Thanks to RU Ken for sheading light on my question.
I like the center buttoning flap that was rather modern for it's time and the big P on the left side of the shirt in the Chick
Fraser photo. The wide belt and the uniform pants wore high, just below the knees make for a rather spiffy, modern appearance.
The caps though without an initial P on them for Philadelphia, and the odd shape of the cap itself was more rooted in 19th Century baseball.
Thanks a lot!
Chick Fraser, by the way went 175-212 in a 14 year career that ended in 1909. That might not seem like much, but you actually have to be pretty good just to have the opportunity to lose 212 games.
