Harry Adams 1897 Missing Umpire

After much searching, I was able to finally find a photo of Harry Adams, who umpired a lone National League game in 1897, along with 15 American League games in 1903.


According to his obituary, which I've included here too, he was longtime friends with Ban Johnson, Connie Mack, and a host of other baseball dignitaries and umpires. He also ran a printing shop in Philadelphia.


The portrait comes from the May 28, 1905 Philadelphia Inquirer and the obit is from the July 2, 1941 Inquirer.
