This page from the 1923 Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide features a photograph of the Mobile Club, champions of the Southern Association in 1922. The image showcases the team members in their uniforms, including Mulrey, Leathers, Ellam, Turk (the bat boy), Mullen, Pope, Fuhr, Schulte, Henry, Huhn, R. Williams, and Bert Niehoff, who served as the manager. The photograph also includes Frank Roos as secretary and players like Cueto, Baker, D. Williams, Acosta, Sigman, and Fulton. The players seem to embody the competitive spirit that led the Mobile Club to secure their championship status. The Southern Association, established in the early 1900s, was a prominent minor league in U.S. baseball history, and the Mobile Club's victory was a notable achievement during that era, reflecting the strength and skill of the team in the 1922 season.
