Jack Wieneke 1921
The photo comes from the Daily Illinois State Register, a Springfield, Illinois, newspaper. The date was June 2, 1921. Weineke had been pitching for a semi-pro team in Springfield called the Illinois Sangamos. He's shown in that uniform. He had only lost one game in 1921 for that team, and he went directly to the White Sox from there. I've attached a news clipping showing that he (with his name misspelled) went from Springfield to the Sox on June 15.
