I recently acquired a picture of some members of Miles City's Baseball Team along with some other people that was taken in 1903. It has the names of the people written in ink on the back but it only has the last names of the players. I was wondering if Amorette or anyone else that has access to old newspapers or has done research on early Miles City history would know the first names of some of the players and what they did then? It's not real important, I'm just curious! The writing on the back is as follows:

Miles City B.B Team Season 1903
Players from left to right
Fox - c.
Baruett - 3rd B. from Boulder, Colo.
Stevens - lf
Herrick - sub
Butler - 1st
Smith - rf
Gregory - P. in back of Smith
Hisey (I can't read this name very well - John) cf and Dr. Audrus 2nd are not present
Burkholder - cf not present

Civilians - Right to Left
Geo. Spencer - scorekeeper and fan
Wm. McConnell - manager and gatekeeper - his star says "PAY ME" (he has a star on his shirt like a sheriff - John)
Willie Gordon - Prop. Yellowstone Journal and ass't. manager
Harry Keenan - Miles City's Policeman

If someone would like to see the picture, I can email it to you as a .jpg file if you wish.

Thanks.
