Dazzling action original of Tris Speaker sliding into third base against the Yankees circa 1910. Looks like he was floating on a cloud, doesn't it? Note about the play, paper caption and International News Service stamp occupy the back. Other illuminates a prematurely gray Speaker as player-manager of Cleveland circa their World Championship and unforgettable 1920 season. Verso is a World White Photo stamp and editor's handwriting. Condition of the pair averages VG and 6.5x8.5. Speaker was the finest centerfielder of his era -- he sure knew how to kick up dust, too.
