This image is from the same MINOR LEAGUE MILWAUKEE BREWERS book by Brian Podoll as cited above. Podoll got it from the Milwaukee Sentinel of April 16, 1899. Although Lewee's final year with the Brewers was 1888 according to Baseball-Reference.com, and the name is misspelled in the caption to this image, there is no one else on the 1899 Brewers who this could be. Besides, the shortstop position fits. It's certainly possible that Lewee was with the Brewers during spring training of 1899 before moving on to other teams.
