Thanks for the updated photo of Smith, CO. The inclusion of the current Facepack/B-R image pre-dates my time working on the Facepack (it appears to have been added in 2007) and I do not have the source image or data on its origin, but it is in the style of the 1909-13 Eastern League team composites. I did a quick check this morning and didn't see that particular photo in any of the composites in my collection, but may have missed it. Perhaps Cusick may have more definitive information about the source?
In any case, a confirmed image is always preferable. Could you please provide more detailed source information for the 1913 image?
